like the subject says, sometimes the screen just stays black when a video ends while VLC is in fullscreen mode.
I'm using VLC 2.0.8.a-1. I got the laptop in April, just in time for Revision 2013, had the problem more or less from the start, so that's since version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6
So far I haven't found a way to get things back to normal when it happens. I've tried
press f
press ESC
close and reopen lid
switch to console (screen just stays black, even on consoles)
Apparently the only thing I can do is pop up a terminal window via shortcut and reboot.
As far as I can tell /var/log/Xorg.[0,1].log doesn't tell what's going on.
In case it's important, I've only experienced this on my Thinkpad T430, it never happend on my old ASUS laptop or on my desktop pc. An Intel issue maybe? The other two run on nvidia cards, the T430 does have an nvidia card in addition to the on-chip HD 4000 but I don't use it (I'd love to since the DP port is only usable with the nvidia card, haven't been able to make it work with bumblebee yet but that's a different issue).
Any ideas? Which log and config files do you need?
