Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
If I switch to an X VT (either by switching to a console VT and then back, or by starting a "guest session") then screen goes black (but the backlight is still on).
This happens on Ubuntu Jaunty (updated a few hours ago) when using the UXA as the AccelMethod. When using EXA everything works fine.

Setting status to confirmed. However, it has recently been decided that Jaunty will be shipped without UXA because of issues like this, so this will bug will get a low priority in Ubuntu for the moment. We would encourage you to forward this bug upstream, so that UXA will be more stable in the future. See http:// intellinuxgraph ics.org/ how_to_ report_ bug.html .
