I get something very similar on my laptop which has Intel 945GM
graphics. It also happens at random, but more often than not, I'm
afraid. I can switch to VT1 then to VT7, thus entering the desktop, but
if I try to use, say, update-manager, X will crash after entering the
password -- the same happens for any other gksudo dialogue I invoke. The
'invalid framebuffer id' error briefly flashes before gdm respawns.

Searching for this bug I found instances of the 'invalid framebuffer id'
error message for ATI and nvidia cards too, see bug #509273 (radeon
driver), bug #528490 and bug #529842 (noveau driver), and bug #527180
(unspecified driver), all appearing to have similar, although not
identical, symptoms. May this be a deeper problem with KMS in the kernel
itself, or with plymouth, or with their interaction, rather than with
specific hardware?
