I can confirm the bug:
- video driver used: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.1.1-0ubuntu9.1
- video card (motherboard integrated):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

To reproduce: start any X server with this driver. After it has been started switching to console with ALT+CTRL+F1..F6 works but the monitor starts to search (analog/digital) video source and after a while goes to sleep => video card is deactivated. One can switch back to vt7 or any other vt where the X is started.
After shutting down X server user ends up without any display.
Console's are there: with blind type you can login and start an other X :-)
