Same problem, amd64 gutsy, nvidia GeForce 8500GT, using the gutsy nvidia-glx-new package. With compiz enabled via the Appearance dialog, on hopping to a vterm and back to the X session, I get a black screen, with only the mouse responsive. I believe with this issue I've been able to use alt+sysrq+k to get the machine back, though I may be confusing that with another issue I had (which I will file a separate bug for.) If there is any information I can provide to help resolve this, I would be glad to help.
