[Elimar Riesebieter]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.2-2

After an upgrade to 7.1 I can't switch to console via <ctrl> <alt> F?.
The screen went garbled and the powerbook freeze. I am using the
same xorg.conf as in 7.0 (ati 6.5.8.0).

Please notice the following extract of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
