X randomly gets stuck at a black screen

SirCaptain · 2018-09-30 22:12:44

When I leave my computer for a while, and come back later, it often goes to a black screen. "ctrl+alt+backspace" works to get to the desktop, but is not a very good work-around as I seem to lose my active windows. "xset s off -dpms" doesn't help. The screen still goes black anyways. When the screen goes black there are no warnings or errors in the xorg logs at /var/log. Any ideas?

I am running:

openbox 3.6.1
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917

--lspci output:--

Here is an xorg log for a time when it got stuck

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

Pase your xorg log for a stuck session.
