Screen turns black after opening and closing lid

whenever I close and open my lid, its completely black, clicking and pressing keys does nothing. If I close and open it one or two more times, it works. I don't have this problem on Windowmaker or Hyprland, I can send more info if needed.
Thanks in advance

Re: Screen turns black after opening and closing lid

Hi there,

This seems a  simililar issue with a solution:

From the content it seems that the lock-screen-login-program is active, but the screen is not initializing properly.

Greetings
