Hi Sebastien,
This happens for me when playing a video (with XV) when any window (GUI window, popup menu, tooltip, notification...) is placed over the video window.
I am using the "intel" Xorg driver. Updating ubuntu has not helped. This bug is systematic.
What happens exactly when a window goes over a video is that the screen freezes, then goes black, then returns with some parts of the picture distorted with bright colours, then goes black again, then I get GDM and can log back in.
Sometimes GDM does not come up, but the screen contiuously alternates between black screen and more and more distorted, colourful screens. In this case I sometimes cannot get into a virtual text terminal, nor hit ctrl+alt+backspace (which is activated in my Xorg.conf), nor ctrl+alt+del, and must hit the case reset button.
