(Get the code!)
I don't think the problem here is the screensaver.
This problem started after GPM stopped using HAL.
Since then, I've been trying to understand how to avoid this. I read many opinions. I also tried disabling gnome screensaver. But, nothing solved the problem.
So, I just gave up.
I removed GPM and started using Xfce power manager. It still uses HAL and it works perfectly.
Every new Ubuntu version, I try again the GPM. However the problem remains.
Maybe because it seems that is not being addressed. I guess the biggest reason for that is that it is difficult to reproduce the problem. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I just can't find out what is the pattern...
By the way, when I run the GPM in verbose mode and this problem is occurring, i can see the following message:
"lid is closed, so we are ignoring ->NORMAL state changes"
But, the lid is not closed. Is this normal?
Does it has anything to do with this problem?
