Title:
  [regression-release] Computer locks when switching screen, forcing
  user to do a hard poweroff, so causing massive data loss and hardware
  damage

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Since I upgrade to Lucid,

  Cannot switch to virtual terminals with Ctrl+Alt+F1. The screen goes
  black, there is no terminal.

  Starting another graphical section works. But when switching back the
  computer gets locked by a black screen with a mouse pointer, and the
  only way out is unplugging power.

  Files attached.
