It turned out, that when I moved the mouse, the login screen appeared. The screen goes black immediately when I stop moving the mouse. I can normally put the password in on the black screen and go on with my life, but, you know, it doesn't look stable :) After I get the system up from sleeping (which didn't work earlier but suddenly started working) the log in screen in displayed normally.
