Oddly enough, I don’t have any of those issues anymore. Screen locking tends to just work these days.
What doesn’t work well anymore is user switching: when I switch virtual consoles to either another user or the gdm screen the keyboard stops registering and the mouse gets slower and slower until it stops completely. Then some time later it starts responding again. The length of time it is unresponsive seems to be proportional to the length of time the virtual console has been suspended. The system continues to be available via SSH. I suspect that the issue has something to do with a huge backlog of invalid events being delivered, but I don’t know for sure. It may also somehow have something to do with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. I kinda blame dbus/systemd, because it first started happening at the same time as I started using systemd, but I don’t actually know that.
It’s annoying because I’ve grown to rely on fast user switching over the past decade or more.
- jcelerier 7y agoI use VT switching all the time, on a desktop with an nvidia card and a laptop with intel / nvidia, and I don't have any of your issues. I'm on arch linux so with recent kernels, systemd, etc... if that can help but I don't remember ever having them.. I don't use GDM however.
