Bug Description
Lubuntu 20.04 daily QA-test on
hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
Displays have been adjusted to my setup (one above the other) but I doubt this is an issue
I suspended system, waited, pressed ESC to wake & it resumed to xscreensaver, but 'flurry' was chopped and showing white/black patches on display as if glitching... I touched mouse & my session removed.
opened xscreensaver & preview - yep glitch there too... changed to 'fliptext' & no issues, but flurry is very jerky with image switching to almost-
attempts to screengrab with delay have failed (just capturing black screen)..
`lshw -C video` reports I'm using nouveau.

I tried to re-create this issue on 7350/8350)
dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/
Very different card with two displays, flurry was nice and smooth and I could not rec-reate
I then tried hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600), but I had a different issue (xscreensaver was nice and smooth, no glitches or jerky behavior; it just happened to cover on a single display)
following are notes from QA-test on hp 8200 :-
chosen as this box shares same displays as hp77700 thus identical setup. it also has nvidia though different card
adjust displays to match setup, make 'my-lower' display default & apply & save as i did before /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xscreensaver/ +bug/1814490
suspend system, wait (what feels like 15 secs but would be far shorter if timed I bet..), this box wakes on ESC key as hp7700, however xscreensaver is smooth, but hiding only TOP display??? grrr.. https:/
wake, load xscreensaver and preview - alas only top screen is hidden (nice smooth flurry) and bottom isn't covered at all..
