I had a similar hang up of the video display when switching between
users, once. intel graphics here (GMA 4500HD) on a Dell Latitude E6500.
Meanwhile, I disabled compiz 'cause it was freezing my display when
putting screen to standby and other situations. I'm not sure if it was
related anyway, I didn't try to reproduce it, neither tried to disable
acceleration as you did.

One thing I noticed w/ the different kind of display freezes I had, is
that the laptop was not freezed, I could login by ssh remotely and
reboot the system.


Regards,
