Maybe this helps to troubleshoot: Since the bug report I tried Suse and other Linux packages. Only the PCLinuxOS http://www.pclinuxos.com/ works 100% perfect with this laptop!

Thanks, I tried to change compiz. As I said earlier I am new to Ubuntu. I just could not find, even with the compiz FAQ help, the file or settings to modify. Then I tried the worst: I disabled the graphical login manager hoping to get around the problem. I get my login and PW prompt and simply I do not know how to proceed from the $ prompt or how to get back to the previous!

I'd just like to confirm that on my system disabling the SyncToVblank option in compiz solved my problem. I am now able to switch users without any problems. I suspect there are two bugs in play here that give similar symptoms as mine was definitely a compiz problem.
