I'm also having issues. Tried using UXA and everything works fine until I log 
off: screen goes black and no response via keyboard (no ctrl+alt+Fn nor 
ctrl+alt+backspace).



Hardware is a Dell Latitude D610:

	00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
		Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Haven't tried to ssh from another laptop.



I've removed the UXA line and added this to the xorg.conf:

        Option      "AccelMethod"  "exa"
        Option      "MigrationHeuristic"  "greedy"

Now it seems to be working fine.
