Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.11-1+b1 Severity: normal I think I'm seeing the same thing on my Dell Latitude D520 laptop. Strangely this doesn't happen on any of my other machines (one a laptop, one not) that run pretty much the same packages and versions.
It's as if the display stays blanked, like in a power saving mode, but the LCD backlight is still on. The mouse cursor is sometimes visible and confined to the area where the unlock dialog box would be, but the dialog is invisible. I can still enter my password and the screen unlocks, but the screen remains black except for the mouse cursor, which changes depending on what's underneath it. Once I was able to make the screen return to normal by switching to a text console and killing xscreensaver. This only seems to happen if I leave the computer for a while; just locking the screen manually and unlocking in the next few minutes is fine. I haven't been able to figure out how to consistently reproduce this yet, or if this is due to a recent change in xscreensaver or some other package. Will try to debug further and update this report. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.8-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-3 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.0-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii xscreensaver-data 5.11-1+b1 data files to be shared among scre Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 8b-1 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii perl [perl5] 5.10.1-16 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wamerican-insane [wordlist] 6-3 American English dictionary words ii xloadimage 4.1-16.1+b1 Graphics file viewer under X11 Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii chromium-browser [www 9.0.587.0~r66374-1 Chromium browser ii epiphany-browser [www 2.30.6-1 Intuitive GNOME web browser ii fortune-mod [fortune] 1:1.99.1-4 provides fortune cookies on demand ii iceweasel [www-browse 3.6.12-2 Web browser based on Firefox ii lynx-cur [www-browser 2.8.8dev.5-1 Text-mode WWW Browser with NLS sup pn qcam | streamer <none> (no description available) ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.2-9 WWW browsable pager with excellent pn xdaliclock <none> (no description available) pn xfishtank <none> (no description available) pn xscreensaver-gl <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
