Edward, do you have an Nvidia card? I have managed to pin the problem down to the Nvidia driver.

When the Nvidia driver is loaded, the screen locks black, and I cannot see the terminal on tty1 (i.e. ctrl+shift+F1 results in black screen), however I can return to X11. If I *don't* load Nvidia then everything is fine. I can close the laptop lid, I can switch to tty1.

Here is the diff between the xorg.conf that gives no errors and the one which loads Nvidia:

I have attached both files as well as the xorg.conf I normally use (i.e. the one I was using in 7.10 without hassles). What is the next step in bug reporting?
