Yes this is a power-management-related problem. I have the same issue in my samsung X460. With AC power connected all work fine, while with battery only the screen goes black when screensaver start. Replacement with Xscreensaver apart, exist other solution now? I'm using Interpid now... Thanks --

I thought I'd try to get to the bottom of this by killing gnome-screensaver, running gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug > screensaver.debug 2>&1 and then doing gnome-screensaver-command -a but when I did that, the screensaver worked correctly. I did some more experimentation and found that if

I'm having the same problem on my laptop running Hardy. Screensaver previews work fine, but when I lock the screen, or when the screensaver activates when the machine is idle or when I run gnome-screensaver- command -a I only get a blank screen. At first I thought the problem was due to some misco

In my case it seems to have been a problem with waking up after sleep states, and not related to gnome-screensaver, since it only happens after going to sleep and waking up again. So never mind. -- screensaver starts but shows only a black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60394 You received

It seems like this may be a few different bugs that all have the same result, since it seems to manifest differently on different systems. My system is a freshly installed Gutsy, and gnome-screensaver worked just fine yesterday, but today it just blanks the screen. Previews work. Starting X without
