That indicates a problem. Probably in X somewhere. (I'll have to
research that).
Are you using nvidia and relying on /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

My mistake [] means optional (in my occult shorthand)
subsitute $DM for your display manager if you have one ($ ls /etc/init.d
| grep dm)
subsitute [etc] for any other packages involved in your display e.g.
openbox xorg packages etc
try just:-
# dpkg-reconfigure systemd slim
and see how that works, if it changes nothing try reconfiguring some of
the other packages (could be the problem is xauth, alternatives or similar)
do a:-
$ dpkg --get-selections | more
and look for likely packages to reconfigure.
