Description Bryce Harrington 2009-05-05 13:39:20 UTC 
Forwarding this issue from a ubuntu reporter (a couple people have seen the same issue now):
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/370343

[Problem]
Crashes when attempting to switch to another user. 100% reproducible. Blank screen, keyboard locked-up must hard reboot. Does not occur when UXA not enabled.

Standard Ubuntu 9.04 install except for Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" added to Xorg.conf.
