If something goes wrong, cry.
System lockup on logout or switch to virtual consoles
If your system locks up after you logout or when you try to switch to a virtual console, this might be an instance of this bug. It is likely that the problem only occurs for users with an Xorg version of at least 7.0 and an amd64 system. Probably it only affects users of DVI.
There is a workaround: Use a standard D-Sub VGA connector instead of the DVI connector.
This workaround was posted as a comment to another related bug: see here.
