I have gnome-power-manager set to turn the screen off when the lid is closed on battery. After upgrading from compiz-0.7.4 from the compiz-overlay to 0.7.8 in portage my screen no longer reinitializes when I open the lid again. It does reinitialize when I resume from suspend though. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install compiz 0.7.8 2. Set gnome-power-manager to turn screen off when lid is closed 3. Close lid and open it again Actual Results: Screen stays off Expected Results: Screen should turn back on again xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 GMA 950 graphics card
Does this only affect compiz? Can you resume if you're using metacity or some other wm? I suspect it might be related to the intel drivers, but it may only be exposed under compiz.
It worked in Metacity. I used fusion-icon to switch to metacity to prevent it from happening. After I downgraded compiz it worked fine and has ever since, with the same Intel drivers.
@x11-drivers: Could this be an issue with the intel drivers? Anything we can do to identify the cause of this issue?
I've just commited compiz-0.8.2 to the tree. Does this also affect 0.8.2?
I'm trying to compile it now but compiz-plugins-main is missing required patches. They don't seem so be included after the sync. There isn't even a files directory. I'm commenting the patch line out for now to test.
It seems that the emerald ebuild requires a patch that is not included either.
0.8.2 seems to work for me. The screen is coming back on without issue. I had to copy over some patches from 0.7.8 to get it work but there is no xdamage-race patch in 0.7.8 or 0.8.2 for compiz-plugins-main although the 0.8.2 ebuild requires this patch. Commenting it out worked but the patch should be synced.
Sorry about the missing patches. I've added them now. About this bug, could this be bug 251693 ?
It sounds very similar but switching to metacity or a previous version of compiz solved the issue for me. Now that 0.8.2 is in the tree it works without a hitch. It was only compiz-0.7.8 (and possibly some combination of drivers/xorg-server/kernel) that triggered the issue for me. The bug you are referencing seems to imply that even without compiz the bug was still triggered.
In that case I'm closing this bug. If you or someone else hits this bug with 0.8.2, please reopen the bug.
