Who is having problems with hangs from the screensaver?

So I tried to duplicate your issue on my Intel IvyBridge (w/LVDS)... but for some reason Weston never enters idle/screensaver mode (i.e. screen always stays on w/desktop showing) :-/.  I am using the default Weston idle (i.e. I didn't specify "-i").

Also, in a similar test I plugged an external HDMI monitor and launched Weston... it never entered idle/screensaver either.  But I did see a "Failed to initialize backlight" message for HDMI only.

I guess I have some new bugs to file.
