Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet
Using Fast user switching or the Guest account produces a blank screen with a complete kernel freeze (Alt+SysReq+REISUB doesn't work). I have the fgrlx driver and compiz on default settings (this is a fresh install of Intrepid 32 bits, actually.)
This kind of bug can easily destroy your OS and/or your data (imagine trying fast user switching right after working on a university paper for an hour and forgetting to save).
No really, Ubuntu developers, you should issue a huge (security?) advisory and do something to protect one third of your users, like, right now. But why did the bug happen in the first place? Don't you have an automated test suite that clicks buttons and tries all the *basic stuff* on several platforms after every package change, before releasing software on the unsuspecting public? If not go ask Google how they do it for Google Chrome. It would also help with errors such as last time's funny mistake when legions of users were left with a computer that wouldn't boot.
Instead of waiting for AMD (sorry, they are bigger players than you, you have to adjust to them and not the contrary), it might be worth putting a workaround in the fast user switching code or X server to try and avoid the function calls that trigger the problem. Could it be the case that other distros use the same driver and don't get the bug?

Occasionnaly the blank screen seems to be a complete kernel freeze: Alt+SysReq+R, E, I, S, U, B didn't work when I first reported the bug, but recently I tried again and I could use the "magic keys".

[Edit: removed some unnecessary stuff, updated description]
Is any more information needed?

Not enough information to troubleshoot as an xserver issue. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting for instructions on reporting X issues. |
