Summary	0008265: Black screen after screen lock / unlock (randomly)
Description	Greetings, I run Kali 2023.1 32-bit on IBM ThinkPad X60s with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD and it works fine except: When I lock the screen and then unlock by entering the UID and PWD, I have randomly a black screen with only the mouse pointer and nothing else. I can <ctrl>+<alt>+<f1> to open a new session but back to <ctrl>+<alt>+<f7> gives back the same black screen. Session is running but it is impossible to get back the desktop. I have to shutdown Kali from <ctrl>+<alt>+<f1> session after login and everything I was doing is lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot by now for your time and support. Eric
Steps To Reproduce	Power on IBM ThinkPad X60s, start Kali 2023.1 32-bit , log in, lock screen, enter UID + PWD to unlock screen. Randomly, you will get a black screen with just the mouse pointer on the screen.
