XScreenSaver does not recognize keyboard input after suspend

[ssdrive-flaktra]

Qubes OS release

Qubes OS 4.2

Brief summary

After suspending the system by closing the lid, opening the lid brings me to XScreenSaver. I can move the mouse, but no keyboard input is recognized at all. The brightness/volume buttons don't work either. I am unable to switch to any other TTYs either.

I've tried to disable XScreenSaver, but I can't figure out how.

Is there a way to just disable XScreenSaver and just log the user out?

This suggests the issue is not with xscreensaver but with the keyboard itself... Is this system using S3 suspend or S0ix? Check if you have deep (and if it's selected) in /sys/power/mem_sleep
