Bug#929834: Buster/XFCE unlock screen is blank

2019-07-14 Thread Ferdinand Saussure
Hi Yves-Alexis, This is just to let you know that the workaround reported by John Franklin on 22 June works for me too. That is, since adding this *.conf file, I haven't seen the buggy behaviour anymore: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Dri

I'd like to point out that this bug has a similar effect on nvidia graphics as well, as pointed out in the bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868087 And their solution was also to generate an xorg.conf file, so I'd guess it's the same bug. - Cem On Tue, 25 Jun 2019 09:3

Hi, In a fresh install of Buster with XFCE desktop, locking the screen blanks the monitor and the monitor enters a power save state. After that, neither moving the mouse nor typing on the keyboard would turn the monitor back on. I could find two ways to get the display back on: 1. Typing the pass
