Unity freeze after close and open lid ( nvidia video card )

Asked by varlogin

Hello. I have Acer 5920g laptop. Ubuntu 12.04. When I close the lid and then after a few second open it - Unity is freezes. Mouse and keyboard are working but nothing more. Only restarting X server is helping. Unity 2D working fine.

Video drivers - standard.
Hibernate - disabled.
When the lid is closed - do nothing.

$ sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Sounds like a suspend issue with your video driver. Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

You are using the open source driver? Is it the same with the proprietary driver?

It was open source driver. I installed proprietary Nvidia driver 295.40. Unity stoped freezes. Thanks for advice:)

But now I get another issue. I'm use dual monitor via hdmi and often plug and unplug second monitor (use as primary display). With open source driver, when I unplug second monitor, all windows move on first monitor well and laptop monitor became primary. With proprietary driver it's not happening. Laptop monitor not became primary, Ubuntu don't change X screen size and windows with panel stay in dead zone. And I need restart X-server. Can you help my with that? I'm use TwinView.
