So it seems that xorg is indeed alive, just not showing the output to the screen. It would be interesting to know if it's also responding to your (blind) input. You could test this by keep typing if you're in an application where you type, or setup a keyboard shortcut to a terminal and then run something like `touch I_am_alive` to see if it's actually making that file.
Could it be that your backlight simply goes off and that everything else is working? You will probably notice if the backlight is on even if the screen is black if you turn off the light in the room. (On second thought, this would be strange, since you can switch to a VT just fine.) -- [i945GM] screen goes black about once per day after upgrading to latest intel drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
