Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.195-2
Severity: normal

When switching from X to a virtual console (vesafb), the console
output is visible only in the upper quarter or so of the screen. The
rest still shows the X session. Switching back to X restores the X
session correctly. This was definitely working in the version in
unstable, and probably in some of the earlier experimental packages
too.

I have a dual-head setup, and the shrunken console is visible on both
screens.

The system is an LG LE50 Express laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M,
kernel 2.6.23-rc9 (i386).
