Public bug reported:
I have an external monitor connected to notebook and the builtin LCD
panel disabled (via xrandr). If I suspend the system and disconnect the
monitor while suspended (/hibernated), the X server doesn't know about
that change when waking up and hence gnome-screensaver login dialog is
shown on the disconnected monitor. This results in inability to operate
the computer, since the LCD panel was disabled before.
Gnome-screensaver should probably, before showing the password dialog,
test that the current xrandr configuration matches physically connected
devices and run something like "xrandr --auto" to restore at least basic
display settings.
Perhaps a more robust solution would be to run an xrandr daemon that
would check (say, every second) that active outputs are connected and
that there is at least one active output, but that is beyond this
particular bug.
I am running fully up-to-date hardy with Intel GM965/GL960 GPU.
