Description of problem:
Summary basically provides whole story. Switched on desktop-effects and when triaging bug 471353 I tried to prove that switching between console and X just works, I got black screen on returning to X :-). Computer was not dead and mouse was moving, but aside from the mouse cursor the screen was totally black.

I was able to connect to the computer via ssh from other computer. When trying to gdb --pid=$(pidof Xorg) gdb was begun to start, printed "attaching to the process XXXXX (no debuginfo) ..." and then it froze completely.

Of course, I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.2-12.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
happened once

Steps to Reproduce:
1.desktop-effects on
2.Alt+Ctrl+2, Alt+Ctrl+7, Alt+Ctrl+1
3.
  
Actual results:
black screen with mouse cursor moving

Expected results:
lovely Xorg display with Firefox where I could continue explaining to the reporter that our Xorg Just Works™

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 05:20:37 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 6 Vitaly Bordug 2008-11-28 20:13:54 UTC 
I would add, that not only gdb lead to total freeze, chvt (iirc) did similar result. Or killing X, not sure...
Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2009-04-24 05:12:58 UTC 
This has evaporated somewhere.
