FWIW I have a Toshiba Qosmio F15 with the same problem. Sometime in the
breezy cycle it stopped working and hasn't worked since. (I've tried it
with each release up till Edgy) It locks up starting up X at the
nVidia splash if enabled or a black screen if not. I don't have another
machine to SSH in with and the only method I've found is a hard reboot.
Using at to reboot in the future doesn't seem to work.
