I am also affected: Xubuntu 12.04 i386 with ATI card. Switching to True
Color makes the password entry dialog visible again, but the screen
saver (gl slide show) won't be started then. Instead, the screen turns
dark and bright repeatedly.

I posted a workaround on the Ubuntu Forums that doesn't require you to
uninstall the Catalyst driver:

Eight months after the last comment, this bug still exists. Linux Mint
12 (Lisa), 64-bit, running MATE, Radeon HD6370D processor. The funny
thing is, this bug did not show up until I attempted to upgrade the
Catalyst driver from 12.3 to 12.4. Unfortunately, 12.4 does not support
my graphics card
I uninstalled the Catalyst driver and the dialog worked correctly under
the open source driver (which unfortunately is unsatisfactory for other
reasons, including available screen resolutions). When I reinstalled the
Catalyst driver, the problem came back.

I uninstalled the Catalyst driver again and installed the additional
driver (ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver) from System
Preferences Additional Drivers, and this solved the problem. Odd,
because the website driver is supposed to be a later version than the
one downloaded by
I have been seeing this bug ever since installing 11.04. Why is it still
here two years afterward? I didn't know I could type in the password
blindly. I've been resetting the machine and otherwise driving myself
nuts.

Also, when I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then Ctrl+Alt+F8 again, the password
box suddenly becomes visible. Glad to know you can also just blindly
type your password.

Same problem, has been going on for quite some time.
The one correction I didn't see explicitly made by the others is that you don't
have to reboot if you mistype your password.
Just wait a few seconds for the presumably invisible shake, then try
again.
Confusing though.

No. I've been able to reproduce the problem in a VM (XP host running
VirtualBox with Ubuntu guest). The VM uses a generic video driver that PC
has an Nvidia GPU.

Same issue. Password dialog is not visible when an OpenGL screensaver
is running (as I type the password I can occasionally see it flicker in
the background). It looks like the OpenGL stuff is rendered on top of
everything else.
Also, in the Desktop section of the System Settings dialog, if I
I can confirm this bug, as well as I have some strange info, I'd love
you to try at home.
When I try to change my theme from Blend to Air, and then back, it just
doesn't change back. To fix I log off and back in. At this point
compositing is suspended indefinitely, but my unlock screen is back.
I can confirm this bug as well. Same behavior. I'll provide my
hardware info when I go home tonight, but I'm running Lucid with all
current updates.

I can confirm this problem persists regardless of when using
xscreensaver or when using gnome-screensaver (running xscreensaver-lock,
I cannot see the unlock dialog box, but if I type my password correctly,
I can return to the desktop).

Today I installed Ubuntu 10.04 RC as a Virtualbox virtual machine. Hardware was
quite different--namely a Nvidia Quadro 290 graphics card. The VM was
configured with 3D acceleration enabled.
With the exact same GL-screensaver, I observed the exact same result: the
