I have a similar problem, though not on a laptop, but on my normal desktop PC. When I change to a vc and back, X goes black, and I have to reboot with ctrl-alt-del - I can't even kill X, or shut it down. This only happens with 4.1.0 - 4.0.x worked fine.
This would seem to be something in X 4.1.0 itself. I just wonder what. I just hope that when I get the laptop I won't have the same problem.
