Hello all,
I have an X1650:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon
X1650 Series] (rev 9e) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Unknown device 0850
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
        Memory at b0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at 8800 [size=256]
        Memory at cf9f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Expansion ROM at cf9c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [58] AGP version 3.0
        Capabilities: [80] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+
Queue=0/0 Enable-

01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650
Series] (rev 9e)
        Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Unknown device 0851
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32
        Memory at cf9e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

and have been using the latest (as of a few days ago) DRI, Mesa, and ATI driver.

3D works well (2800 FPS in glxgears), Compiz *almost* works (white
screen), but I have another problem.

When my server boots, all F1-6 TTYs are working fine.
The moment my X server starts, trying to switch to them just cause the
monitor to go to sleep after a few moments.
I can return to F7 fine though.
I've tried killall -9 agetty to restore them, as well as telinit q
Nothing seems to recover them.

Which is obviously a pain :)

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
