I have a T500 with:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650

After X starts, when I switch to the console (alt+ctrl+F1), I do get the
console but every few seconds the screen blanks and unblanks.
This has started after upgrading to kernel 2.6.35, older kernels worked fine.

I am running Gentoo Linux with:
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati 6.13.1
x11-libs/libdrm 2.4.21
media-libs/mesa 7.8.2
KMS is enabled.
