Can't suspend laptop or turn on second monitor after recent xserver update

[Grzegorz Śliwiński]

After recent maverick update (the one around 12.01.2011) and restarting system, I can't suspend my laptop, it hangs with screen lit.

Also, when trying to turn on second monitor in TwinView mode through nvidia-settings, all I get is black main screen with mouse pointer (I can move it), and it's still lit.

I use nvidia proprietary drivers (260 If I remember correctly) and regularly update my system.
My machine is Samsung R510 FS04PL.

Strange as it is, by the force of habit I pressed suspend while going to sleep, and turned on second monitor today, it started working... could this be some other program interfering? How do I find what's going on?

Hey Grzegorz,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
