Same basic problem, but found a potential shoddy workaround: -Natty, Helios screensaver, 945GM/GMS/GME + 943/940GML Express IG Controller, EeePC 900HA Netbook...
When the screen locks up, I have used the VGA port to sometimes get the display back. 1. Plug-in a VGA cable (I have one hooked up to a TV anyhow) 2. Use the built-in (or pre-configure) hotkeys (for me Fn+F5) to cycle through the multiple monitor modes -wait a few secs each time Hopefully something will reappear. In my case I have had: -parts of the screen reappear (enough to right click a launcher in, terminal etc.) -parts of the screen come back with other parts reappearing when spawned (eg. click gnome menu, parts unfold clearing screen) -the whole screen comes back -both screens come back If this doesn't work, try taking the VGA cord out and recycling through the modes again. S-video/HDMI might work as well. It might be worthwhile to write a refresh script you can get to with a keyboard shortcut or alias you can put in a terminal. That way you won't even need visual output to get you started. Still no solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762918 Title: Natty Screensaver freezes system after some period of inactivity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
