Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

In Lucid when running the nouveau driver I can't switch to a console
virtual terminal. When I attempt do so, the mouse pointer vanishes and
the display freezes on the current X content. Switching back to the X VT
returns the mouse and resumes normal operation of X.

I've also occasionally noticed having to switch VTs on resume to
"unfreeze" the display after resuming for suspend or failing to see the
GDM window on boot (after Plymouth). Possibly related/same issue.
