[Copycat - A blackscreen can also appear due to a bug in the ATI driver
- workaround involving gnome-screensaver. (goto bug #546578)]

Binary package hint: nvidia-graphics-drivers

I have this bug on both my computer and my laptop.
This effect me scine Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 alpha to now Beta 2 with all upgrade.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Login to user A.
2. Choose switch user from User A.
3. Login to user B.
4. Logout from user B.

After that the screen just go blank. The music from Rhythmbox of user A still playing, I can't swith to tty1 (by ctrl + alt + F1), but I can use the Magic SysRq key to reboot the system.
In my laptop it's usally happen, it rarely happen but exist in my computer. I think this bug is very critical because I need to use many user for testing application and translation of ubuntu.
There aren't any logs in my computer (except something about Pulse before the crash).

And in my laptop has some logs
