Description of problem: The laptop display occasionally gets corrupt and frozen after turning back on after being in powersave state. The system continues to function normally in other respects. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.17.0-4.fc15.x86_64 kernel-2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 gnome-screensaver-3.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Intermittent. Happens every 2-3 days. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lock screen or wait for screen saver to kick in. 2. Wait for laptop screen to go into power save mode (i.e. it turns off) 3. Wake by moving the mouse or typing. Actual results: Vertical white/grey bars appear on one side of the laptop screen and gradually (within a second) spread to the other side. The external monitor remains blank. The system itself continues to function normally in all other respects. Expected results: Screen turns on again, and prompted for password to unlock screen saver. Additional info: I have an external monitor connected via the VGA port. I can recover from this problem by doing: 1. Type in the password blindly (to unlock the screensaver). This results in the external monitor showing its part of the desktop. 2. Open a terminal. 3. Use 'xrandr' to list the displays. 4. Turn off the laptop screen output via xrandr: 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --off' 5. Turn on the laptop screen output via xrandr: 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto' (At this point the laptop screen is now operational, but the displays are now mirrored.) 6. Go to 'System Settings -> Displays' and uncheck 'Mirror displays' and click 'Apply'. (At this point things are usually back to normal, but sometimes the primary display has switched to the external monitor.)

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
