           Summary: Can't switch to tty - screen goes white/gray/stripy
                    Xpress 200M
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: rafnov at gmail.com
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


I have current Gentoo with such software version installed:
xorg-server is 1.6.3.901
kernel is 2.6.30
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is 6.12.2-r1

Since I am using open source radeon driver I can't switch to terminal from X.
When I press ctrl+alt+f1 tty doesn't appear, but screen goes bright with some
very thin, one pixel, colorful or gray strips, sometimes vertical, sometimes
horizontal.
I am able to go back to X by alt+f7.

I don't use any framebuffer for now, but would be great to have bigger,
readable resolution on tty.

Any tips how to fix it would be appreciated.
