Bug Description

I run Ubuntu 11.10 with Nvidia latest proprietary drivers 290.10

After I connected a TV as a separate X-screen I've got a problem.
If I set up to turn off monitor on idle it dims then turns off. After I move the mouse the monitor turns on, I see mouse cursor, it changes shape when I move it around, but the monitor stays black unless I restart lightdm.

This problem is with gnome-screensaver package.
With xscreensaver the monitor turns on in a correct way.
