Subject: [Bug 966744] Re: resume from suspend leaves me with black screen and a cursor

I am wondering if the new Intel drivers (2.19; in Ubuntu 12.04 are 2.17)
would improve the situation?

The PPA from the Ubuntu-X team (
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates ) contains
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.19.0-0ubuntu1~xup1

Maybe someone wants to give it a shot... (but please be sure you know
how to purge a PPA from the terminal in case sth goes wrong ;-) )

Title:
  resume from suspend leaves me with black screen and a cursor

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This happens intermittently. Sometimes upon resume, all I see is a
  black screen and the cursor. the mouse and keyboard respond (the mouse
  moves) but nothing changes. Switching to console and back doesn't fix
  it. Killing Compiz also does not fix the issue. Further, if one has
  password lock disabled on resume the user will be stuck with a frozen
  display of whatever was last shown on the screen before suspend. The
  mouse cursor still changes as you hover over various elements but the
  display is frozen solid. Killing the X session is the only workaround.

  BTW, I haven nothing connected to the laptop when I resume and before
  suspend. This is a very annoying issue because the only way to
  recover is to reboot, which means all the open files will be lost.
