Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Host:
Thinkpad T61p 6457-7WU
nVidia FX570M
Intrepid with all current updates, including
nvidia-glx-173 173.14.
gnome-
xscreensav
After the configured period of time, the screen will dim, then go completely black, but then instead of the screensaver activiating, the screen will go back to normal immediately as if some event arrived to cancel the screensaver. To further support the hypothesis, if I enable locking, as soon as the screen goes blank, instead of the screensaver activating, the unlock dialog is presented.
Also, after cancelling the unlock dialog, the screensaver will activate as expected.
