When a logout from X I get a Out of Signal in my monitor

And I can't see anything, i just get a blank screen.
I must do a logon with root in a diferent terminal (just memorizing my tiping, cause I can't see anything) and do a reboot.
Then all returns to normality till a do a new "startx"
My X works fine (GNOME), but if I need logout, and go to terminal it happens agains.

Excuse my english, I do my best, but I'm from Spain and my englisht is a little oxidated

It could be that your graphics hardware dosent support the kernel framebuffer, and thinks its not reciving and input.

What hardware do you have?

I have a similar problem but it doesn't happen always -- only after I've restarted X a few times, and perhaps it's also affected by suspending.  It only started to happen recently and it seems to be distro independent (happens for me on two different computers and two different distros) so I think it's some kind of an upstream bug -- I haven't been able to find any info about it though.

This is happening to me too. I believe it started with the recent update of the Intel driver, although I have no way to prove it.

I forgot to mention - I'm using nvidia card(s) with proprietary drivers.

I'm with intel drivers too.
Compiz-Fusion, Gnome and XFCE4 works greats, but when I try to end X, terminal goes out of sync and gets a blank screen
