Public bug reported: dell latitude E5400, ubuntu 10.10 power-management is set up so "do nothing" is selected for "when laptop lid is closed" both on ac power and battery power normally everything works fine, BUT...
while i open the lid, the screen goes blank for a while and the first action i perform is VERY slow. the screen is blinking for a while, a then it seems to re-adjust screen resolution (that was already fine). when the very first action is performed (usually just clicking on a window!) the system works fine. this is a little bit annoying, buth nothing critical... the real bug is that SOMETIMES (randomly, i guess), the first action after lid is open causes the system to be blocked for a few minutes... sometimes 10, sometimes more. i can't do anything: the cursor disappears, i can't switch to another terminal. the screen is not blank, but everything is stuck. if i log in with ssh, top shows Xorg consuming 80% of cpu. i can kill the session, but this causes all my opened files to be closed (unsaved!). this is my ~/.config/monitors.xml : <monitors version="1"> <configuration> <clone>no</clone> <output name="VGA1"> </output> <output name="LVDS1"> <vendor>LPL</vendor> <product>0x0138</product> <serial>0x00000000</serial> <width>1440</width> <height>900</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>0</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>normal</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>no</primary> </output> <output name="HDMI1"> </output> <output name="DP1"> </output> <output name="HDMI2"> </output> <output name="DP2"> </output> <output name="DP3"> </output> <output name="TV1"> </output> </configuration> </monitors> Xorg.conf is not present my massages log is full up of this: ...
