			Hello.

When trying to switch from Xorg to console and back, at the arrival back
on the xorg vt, the server gets terminated.
Most of the times, this results in having no possibility to use the
consoles again afterwards, as they show part of what was on the Xorg
screen or deep black instead of their actual content.

Last known good (where this did not happen):
	all-from-git versions from 2007-08-20
	 ( 2007-0823 already crashes at switch )

Setup:
linux-2.6.22.5
xorg parts from git today (2007-08-30) - xserver branch no-pci-rework
( drm, pixman, drivers, libs, xserver, Mesa )

lspci -v (for graphics):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01fe
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at eff8 [size=8]
        Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit-

Unfortunately, 945GM behaves the same w. regards to vt switch...
