I recently installed Debian Testing on my laptop, an HP dv6-1355dx, which had been running Ubuntu. Once I got past the missing wireless tools and drivers things have been pretty smooth. However, there is an oddity in GDM regarding screen locking which I cannot seem to figure out.
With the default settings, using gnome-power-manager, whenever I close the lid the computer suspends and the screen locks. However, when I open the screen it does not give me a password box or any such thing, but rather the screen is just black. This persists until I manually switch to a console and back to F7 or F8, whichever is running X, and only then will the expected password box appear. I have looked through the seemingly related settings but can find nothing which seems wrong or unexpected. I have currently turned off the screen-locking selection in the screensaver settings which keeps things from locking up, in both ways, and so does not ask for a password. This is okay, though I would rather like to have things working in the optimal way. Thanks very much for any ideas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
