** Description changed: Hello, - I'm having a problem with the OS locking up/ UI freeze. This started in - edge eft (ubuntu 6.10). Here is the repro sequence + I'm having a problem with the X locking up/showing a black screen. This + started in edge eft (ubuntu 6.10). Here is the repro sequence 1) Create 2 accounts 1 user account and 1 admin account 2) start ubuntu 3) at the login screen log on to the user account with limited privs 4) Then using the ui Applications->System Tools -> New login (basically invoke new login) 5) login as the admin user 6) switch to the user account using ctrl+alt+f7 (you'll be prompted to enter the password since the screen gets locked) 7) play a movie or perform some other operation in the user account. 8) while the movie is playing switch back to the admin account using ctrl+alt+f8 or ctrl+alt+f9. - 9) repeat steps 6 to 8, you'll see that eventually ctrl+alt+f8 will show a black screen for both the user and the admin accounts or the entire OS will freeze. + 9) repeat steps 6 to 8, you'll see that eventually ctrl+alt+f8 and ctrl+alt+f9 will show a black screen for both the user and the admin accounts or the entire OS will freeze. Note this seemed to have started in 6.10 and is still a problem, even in 7.04
