Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
With visual effects set to 'normal' I have a problem with the screensaver. This happens with both the default screensaver and with xscreensaver.
My machine is on overnight. When I try to use it first thing in the morning, it takes a long time after pressing a key for the screen to be unblanked. I would estimate this takes nearly a minute. During this time one of my CPUs is 100% utilised.
The strange thing is that this only happens after an overnight period of inactivity. If I haven't used the machine during the day the screen has (so far) always been restored quite quickly (2 or 3 seconds).
If I set visual effects to 'none' the problem goes away.
Ubuntu 7.10, amd64 X2, Asus M2N-E, 2GB, nVidia GeForce 7600GS with nvidia driver.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu.
