screensaver problem with external monitor

Post by mar9000 »

Hi, I have a small problem with screen saver and the external monitor. The version is 20.1 but this problem was there also also in 20.0 and 19.3
Steps to reproduce are as follow:
  1. connect an external monitor to your laptop.
  2. test the screensaver: in my case it activates on the laptop display and on the external monitor. so far so good.
  3. close the laptop lid.
  4. test again the screensaver: the exteral monitor just got black. It locks the screen if you choose so, but there is no graphic.
  • if one open the laptop lid again everything is fine (graphics on both display)
  • if one kill the screensaver then start the screensaver with the lid closed the screensaver activates correctly on the external monitor.
First of all: is this is the right forum to post to?
I've tried to start the screensaver with -debug... I can post here the log if this is the right place
Thx
Mar
