I have this problem with a freshly installed 10.04 Desktop. Sometimes it
is as easy to reproduce as: Log in as user A, log in as user B, logout
user B, black screen.(Xorg log below is of this scenario) It it not
100% reproducible and there are times I cannot reproduce it at all. It
seems like when I cannot reproduce it any more I need to do a cold boot
before the problem comes back.
VT switching via keyboard or chvt does not do anything. Stopping and
starting gdm via initctl is the only way to bring the screen back short
of rebooting
The following is sometimes logged by the kernel when switching or
logging out users:
