Severity: important

Hello,

I have some interesting problem with slock.

Well basically slock is executed by xflock4 for locking
purpose.

On my computer (Thinkpad T43) with
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon 
X300]
i have problems unlocking screen.

Essentially screen keeps blinking, or rather a LCD backlight is blinking
(screen is still black). I can enter password by blind and hit enter,
and it unlocks, but I do not see anything on screen when I enter a password
In fact whole LCD backlight is off.
It sometimes blinks for unknown reason (like 1-2 times per second).
I can switch to text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), and everything is perfect,
but when switch back to X console, backlight is off. I was trying doing
something with xrandr, but nothing helps. I was also trying to use xbacklight
utility from console (with setting proper XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY env variables),
but it says 'No outputs have backlight property'.
On the other hand  xrandr --output LVDS --off, and
xrandr --output LVDS --auto works, and switches off/on a backlight.

Any ideas?

This is my Xorg.

I do had any problems in Gnome, or when using xscreensaver.
Backlight control is in all cases working without problem.

I have compositing disabled.

Just calling manually 'slock' is enaugh to trigger backlight problem
when unlocking.

Witek
