Description PGillespie 2016-05-02 15:33:46 UTC

I can access TTY 1-6 but cannot interact with the sessions. The login text appears, but no prompt and no mouse cursor. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL+ALT F1-6

Actual Results:  
Can't login/interact with prompt.


After resume from suspend, accessing TTY 1-6 results in a blank screen.

that's a bug in the kernel module of your gpu (lost framebuffer control) and not related to kde (or even x11) at all.

Thank you. I've been Googling this bug based on your description of the cause. All of the posts I've read associate it with NVIDIA, which I'm not using.

Card: Intel Device 0a1e
           Display Server: X.Org 1.18.3 driver: intel Resolution: 1366x768@60.00hz
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0

Not that this doesn't apply  to INTEL. Where then, should I report this bug? - or are we stuck with it?
