I just tried switching to the nv driver. Same problem. I get a blank, white screen with a large underscore cursor in the upper left hand corner. I'm using Kubuntu Fiesty to clarify and I did a little more testing. I noticed that when when I'm in the first session I'm using (:0, vt7), but when I start a "new" session with the switch user feature it makes the new session (:0, vt9) and skips over 8. When I logout from the session on vt9, I get the blank screen. If I press Alt+F8, the screen doesn't change at all. If I press Alt+F9, I get a black screen instead of white but with the same underscore cursor flashing in the upper left corner. If I press Alt+F7, I'm returned to my first session on vt7 like I stated in the earlier post. To take this a bit further, if I switch users twice (start 3 sessions), I will have sessions running on vt7, vt9, and vt10. When I logout of vt10, I will be correctly taken back to vt9, but then a logout from vt9 then takes me to the blank white screen (that I think is vt8 which has nothing on it) and then I have to press Alt+F7 to get back to the first (vt7) session. I do also have to add that I don't think that it is a good idea to have the switch virtual terminal shortcuts to just Alt+Fx when from within a KDE session, Ctrl+Alt+Fx is required to switch terminals (which I can add, if I press Ctrl+Alt+F8 right now I will get the blank white screen, but I will have to use just Alt+F7 to get back here).
