Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
After upgrade to Karmic, when the laptop is powered (connected to AC) and set to "blank screen" when laptop lid is closed, if laptop lid is closed for a long time (a couple of hours or more) then when I open the screen again the computer is frozen - the screen does not turn back on, not even if I try to switch to a different VT and nothing I do except power cycle the computer can bring it back.
I have tried CTRL-ALT-DEL (with and without DontZap enabled). I have not tried SysReq.
I do not have screensaver enabled, so I don't know if this is related to the screensaver, but I suspect that it doesn't. I will try to enable the screensaver though to test.
This may or may not be related to bug #359392, see comments 609 and later.
I'm using the latest intel drivers (2.7.99), Xorg (7.4) and kernel (2.6.30-9) from Karmic.
Is this the same as bug 328760?
