I've read through this bug some more and comment #27 seems to confirm that this is an X issue. In the bug summary is:
"With kernel 2.6.32-9-generic the logon screen does not freeze. With kernel 2.6.32-10-generic it does." <snip> "I have tried to disable splash, remove "quiet splash" from the kernel commandline, but with no result: after the kernel is loaded it reinitializes graphics. Only seeing a black screen after that. This with both kernels 2.6.32-9 and 2.6.32-10." Sometimes bugs are reported like this where it appears that stuff was working with one kernel and broken with another, when in reality the another package was updated at the same time that caused the issue. To determine if the kernel is at least partially culpable, can someone please retest the 2.6.32-9-generic kernel on beta 1 to see how it behaves? P.S.: Hopefully you still have the kernel around. I'm not sure where you can find the kernel now, but I'll try to find out.
