With the xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.1-0ubuntu7~bwh1_i386.deb package, I experience the same as the others here, no gray blocks when switching to VT, Xv acceleration works, compiz works. However, when I switch to VT1 after playing a video with Xv and then switch back to VT7, I get a blue screen instead of the Xv video just like Jose. But the X server does not restart after a few seconds, but it freezes the syste, no Ctrl+Alt+BackSp, no ACPI power off, no SysRq.

I'm running GDM and have a completely KDE-free system but I also experienced the gray blocks bug before, so I don't think the bug depends on the display manager used.
