TenLeftFingers, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Switch user -> Log out -> Black display until reboot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [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

  To reproduce:

  1) Choose another user in your FUSA menu.
  2) After logging in to that users account, log off.

  Expected results: I expect to see GDM
  Actual results: I have a black screen

  Note: I can still press enter and type my password to log in. I knew
  this worked from the sound of my hard-drive. To be certain, on a
  subsequent test, I did ALT+F2 and ran "touch testfile". After a
  reboot, there was a file called 'testfile' in my home directory. But
  all this was performed with a black screen.
