** 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)]
  
  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.
