Description of problem: Since upgrading to 5.2 beta (wasn't a problem on 5.1), whenever I close my laptop lid and reopen it: * The gnome-screensaver password prompt displays for a fraction of a second * The screen blanks (switches off) If I switch to a virtual console it comes back, but going back to X switches the screen off again. Forcing X to restart by killing it fixes the problem. My laptop is a Lenovo X60s. lspci has the following pertinent entries: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.6.0.3.el5.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.38.el5.i386 How reproducible: Always

I've uploaded the requested info. Note that removing xorg.conf didn't fix the bug.
I've discovered that the blank screen can be recovered by switching to a VT, logging in as root and executing: export DISPLAY=:0 vbetool dpms on I suspect this means that the bug is incorrectly filed. Where should it go? As it's a regression, I'm keen to have it correctly hightlighted.

Yes, this is a regression from 5.1. I have never observed a problem when closing my laptop lid before.
Oh good, backlight bug. Almost certainly an intel driver bug though, assuming you're closing the lid while on wall power, since nothing else kicks in then. Does this problem happen when gnome-screensaver is disabled? If it does, can you recover by doing 'xset dpms force on' from within the X session? (yes, blindly)
I'm no longer running RHEL 5, so I can't reproduce. Please close if you really need more info.
