Comment 1 for bug 1005545

I have the same (similar) problem as described.

Linux Mint 12 64bit
NVidia Gfx Drivers
Dual Screen (primary on Left)

When returning from away, both screens are black with the time at the top (and strangely can show different times) (looks like the external display doesn't update) but no login box.

Haven't *yet* tried the solution posted above. See attached picture for example.
