[Bug 875057] [NEW] Black screen on keyboard press

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

So I was writing an email in gmail (in Firefox), when I accidentally
pressed maybe Ctrl + . (I'm unsure what exactly) and suddenly my screen
went black, with some text on it, then came to the login screen.

Now at this point, using my mouse was fine, but when I tried to use my
keyboard or the onscreen keyboard, any keystroke caused the screen to go
black for a second, then return back to the login screen. I tried
changing keyboards, but to no effect, so I restarted.

I've taken a portion of /var/log/syslog
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12269404/syslog and /var/log/kern.log
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12269404/kern.log (they were the only two with
relevant information).
