I've got a Dell Inspiron 8100, running Debian unstable.When I use X, and have put down the lid, or something else that causes the screen to *turn off* (i.e., not just 'go dark'), it doesn't turn itself back on at resume, for example when I open the lid again.It works fine when I switch to a console, and then back. X resumes nicely, no problems. But there *has* to be a better way of doing this?Is there some 'on-resume' script, or something like that, which could refresh X on resume? It can't be a terribly hard thing to do, since switching to a console and back does the trick ...I've tried to search the web, found some similar cases, but no solution. Ideas, anyone? h: Krisse
Not really a solution, just share some of my experience.I have an Inspiron 4150 with the exact same problem. Turning off the screen will cause X crash. Some time back, I read some where that it is a video card (ATI) driver problem, and newer version of xfree86 will solve the problem. That version is not even released yet, and can only download from some xfree86 guy's nightly built website. I was too lazy to do that. Instead, I disable screen auto turn-off feature in BIOS :)
