*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 546578 ***

** Description changed:
- [Copycat - A blackscreen can also appear due to a bug in the Gnome
- screensaver. (goto bug #546578)]
+ [Copycat - A blackscreen can also appear due to a bug in the ATI driver
+ - workaround involving gnome-screensaver. (goto bug #546578)]
Steps to reproduce:
1. While logged in as user A, System|Log Out <username>|Switch User
2. Login to user B, ensure all is working properly and logout from user B.
- screen goes black
- keyboard no longer works
- mouse no longer works
100% reproduceable.
However, I can:
1. ssh -X into the machine w/o issue. I can bring up gui's from the affected
machine (i.e., gnome-system-log, vino-preferences, etc).
2. remote login to the machine via VNC and get a screen; however I then get
multiple tserver instances & have to kill it. Remote login to the machine using
NX w/o issue.
3. reboot the machine from the remote ssh.
Attempts to resolve:
- 1. Ensured that the problem exists with enhanced graphics turned off
(System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects|None)
+ 1. Ensured that the problem exists with enhanced graphics turned off
(System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects|None)
2. Ensured that the problem wasn't related to gnome-screensaver as per
similar reports (purged gnome-screensaver, installed gnome-screensaver
2.30.0-0ubuntu2 etc).
Workaround:
Remove nvidia-96 and reboot. All switching between users then works properly.
Reinstall nvidia-96 and the problem occurs.
