[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#835461: light-locker breaks suspend/resume with nvidia legacy 340 drivers

[Michael Westwind]

Package: light-locker
Version: 1.7.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


I am running Debian Sid and so expect some oddities from time to time.

I found my laptop (Compaq 8710p) unusable after a suspend after an upgrade.
My only recourse was to switch to a console and do an Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
pm-suspend from a console would still suspend and would come back nicely
but not just closing the lid as I was used to.  I found that I could
disable the nvidia
drivers and it would work, but got a double security login and realized
that a new
security program had been installed (light-locker) in addition to
xscreensaver.
By uninstalling light-locker and leaving xscreensaver in place, I was able
to get normal
suspend and resume behavior with the nvidia drivers, but reinstalling
light-locker and
removing xscreensaver recreated the problem so it was not a conflict
between those two
programs.

I suppose that the problem could be related to the legacy nvidia drivers
and that up to date
drivers would be fine, but I have no way of testing that.

My problem seems similar to the known bugs for light-locker but I did not
see any others where disabling
the nvidia drivers had an effect.
