I fixed my problem on Dell laptop by changing Screensaver (XScreenSaver 5.34) settings. Display Modes Mode: Blank Screen Only or Disable Screen Saver
I guess the screen saver program was not working well. I glimpsed the monitor had weird colors. Laptop Lid is closed: both Switch off display and Lock screen work after the change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 Title: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
