Public bug reported: This happened twice in quick succession.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 on an HP Probook 6560b notebook. FIrst time I logged in, the desktop appeared. I started gnome-ppp for an internet connection which I do normally whenever I need and have never encountered any problem. After some time the screen went totally blank and the touchpad froze. I had to do a hard reboot. Second time I again logged in, connected to the internet, started thunderbird but found the synaptic touchpad froze again. The keyboard was working and I used it to start a terminal and reboot. CHecked the logs to see Xorg report a ddxSigGiveup, which to my mind spells xorg issues.
