Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When I close the lid on my thinkpad t420s and reopen it, I can't use X. I can still move the mouse about but everything behind it remains static. If I leave it long enough to go into a screensaver then I just see the contents of the screen from before the screensaver went on. I can see a text editing cursor over the bit where I'd type my password. If there are buttons on the screen then I can click them but there are no visible changes, but they have an effect. For instance I can stop and resume music this way.

When I put the laptop to sleep and bring it back again the screen has a black background, unless it's in one of the tty sessions, in which case it shows that when I go back to X.
