Bug Description

Sometimes (not always), when my laptop blanks the screen and turns off the backlight due to inactivity, I cannot resume to my desktop. Hitting a key or moving the mouse does not bring up the "Locked screen" dialog.

I just noticed that the system does not crash completely, I still can SSH into it. As I saw a kernel crash in dmesg, I report this against linux, but X.org or -intel may be the cause, too.

FWIW, the original reporter has an X200 which I believe has a GM45 chipset in it, I have an X300 which has a GM965 chipset.
