Bug Description
Whenever I try to relogin to an existing session in gnome, I get a blank screen. CTL+ALT+BKSP does not fix the problem, but the screen flickers and changes hue as if it took the command. It's like the system is still functional, but I can't see anything.
I am using an Intel 965 motherboard for graphics.

This was present for me in edgy with fglrx video driver.
log in was fine, session was fine, changing users was fine, changing back would result in a black screen and seemingly hung X-session.
This was not present with the radeon driver.
as the symptoms are identical (expained a little better on the ubuntuforums.org website by the bug reporter http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?p=2513800# post2513800)
it looks like it might be video driver related, and whatever caused this issue with the fglrx driver, may now be present in the intel driver.
i was using an ATI 9800 pro with fglrx driver, edgy.
