Public bug reported: I was testing the openchrome drivers git e53bb7bf442b03b1240445d6c9e846265bda577c in "Xubuntu". These work only when xfsettingsd crash or kill. Otherwise the screen looks as if it were turned off.
When you start without xfsettingsd and then run in a terminal, the screen turns off. To do this on a tty I perform the command: sudo /etc/init.d/ start LightDM Quickly switch to another tty and I perform the command: sudo killall xfsettingsd With the above commands do not reproduce the crash.
