Thanks Ulli. xrandr can really return the display to a functional state. I have the problem on ASUS Eee PC 1000H.
In the problematic state xrandr shows no mode selected (I do not know what it does mean): $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 32767 x 32767 LVDS1 connected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x600 60.0 + 65.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) After resolving of the problem (using xrandr --auto) shows a mode selected: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 32767 x 32767 LVDS1 connected primary 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 220mm x 129mm 1024x600 60.0*+ 65.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) In the problematic state the verbose output of xrandr differs also in the value of CRTC: CRTCs: 1 After resolving of the problem: CRTC: 0 CRTCs: 0 ------------- It is possible to resolve the problematic state without preparation of any scripts in advance: a) After logging-in when the black screen is being shown: 1. press Ctrl+Alt+t to open a terminal 2. blindly type (+ enter at the end): xrandr --auto b) After logging-in when the black screen is being shown: 1. press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the text console 2. login 3. run: chvt 7 ; DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --auto -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303736 Title: [SRU] Black screen after wakeup from suspending by closing the laptop lid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1303736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
