Resuming from sleep causes the display number overlay to be shown

[Dylan Damian]

Every time the computer resumes from sleep, the display number overlay (red square with white number) is shown superimposed on the desktop. The only way to make it disappear is to launch ATI Catalyst Control Center from System Settings, select Display Manager from the navigation tree and then toggle the Identify Displays button.

I worked around this by changing Virtual to my screen resolution (Section "Screen" SubSection "Display" in xorg.conf). Probably not an optimal fix if you use extended desktop.

[MyMindsAvatar (richjones82)]

I also have this problem, but I'm afraid I'm too new to GNU/Linux to know how to make this change. This is my xorg.conf looks like this below. What should I change?

Section "ServerLayout"

 Screen 0 "amdcccle-Screen[1]-0" 0 0

Hey dylan-damian,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

[bugbot (bugbot)]

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.

[Dylan Damian (dylan-damian)]

I can confirm this is no longer happening on oneiric. The bug report can stay closed. Sorry it took me so long to be able to load oneiric on the machine with the original problem.
