           Summary: Blank console after exiting from X
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.5
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: cottrell at wfu.edu
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


Kernel 2.6.33; Xorg 1.7.5; drm, mesa and xf86-video-ati 
from current git; non-KMS mode. All this on a ThinkPad
T400, R600 video.

X starts fine and gives good 3D performance, but on
exit the console is blank. There's a shell there OK
and the machine responds to commands typed blind.
Ctrl-Alt-FN to console from a running X session also
gives a black screen.

I'm booting to a console using vesafb. I tried disabling
that (VGA console) and rebooting, but it didn't help,
still no visible console after X.

Seems to be a regression, since the same setup was
working fine with mesa 7.6 and earlier variants of drm
and xf86-video-ati from git; however that was also
before updating from kernel 2.6.32.8 so the 
experiment is not well controlled.
