Bug Description
When i close my laptop's top (or the screen just 'falls to sllep') and then open it again (or 'wake the screen up'), everything that i'm allowed to do is mouse cursor moving - the picture just freezes. No other interactions avaliable. My laptop is ASUS K50IJ, Ubuntu 11.04 (with Unity).
Any help would be great!
I have the same exact problem. I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 about 4 times, and each time I've experienced the same issue. Every time I leave my computer idle long enough for the display to go to sleep, it freezes on the screensaver when I "awaken" it. All I am able to do is move the cursor. I'm on an ASUS Essentio Series CM5570 desktop computer. I've noticed the original poster is also using an ASUS, but a different model. I am somewhat suspecting it could be an issue with the hardware, but I'm not sure.
However, I have also noticed that when I use "Blank Screen" for screensaver choice, the freezing does not occur upon awakening the display.
I hope this narrows it down a bit. I would appreciate any help on this. :)
