The "black screen" problem is still alive! (Core i3 530 with integrated
graphics)

Reliable workaround:

1. For every user on the machine repeat step 2, 3 and 4

2. go to "System", "Settings", "Keyboard Shortcuts"

3. add a shortcut
    name: e.g. "Fix black screen"
    command: "xgamma -gamma 1.0"

4. assign a combination: e.g. "Crtl+Esc"

Whenever you expirience the problem, do the following:

- type in the password of the user you want to switch to

- apply the keyboard shortcut (in my case "Crtl+Esc")

That already saved me at least a hunderd times.

Good luck!
