Hi Alex,
For some reason, the patch to restore the display upon exiting the X server,
and which worked well in the 6.6.3 and 6.6.99 drivers, no longer works in the
6.7 drivers that I have tried (6.7.195 and 6.7.197). The patch was
officially included in the ati driver in
commit 80eee856938756e1222526b6c39cee8b5252b409

RADEON: fix console restore on netbsd
Include the mode restore bugfix from monolithic Xorg, that is derived
from the version in xsrc which in turn was provided by Matthieu Herb
over 3 years ago on the XFree86 lists. Suggested by various
developers, hold-back due to the working state in xorg-server 1.1.1.
Tracing down the exact change showed that the changed default color
depth made this issue a lot more prominent again. Discussed with Eric
Anholt.
I attempted to print out the the content of the saved data right after the
call to vgaHWSave and right before the call to vgaHWRestore (in radeon.c) and
it looks like it's been modified in between the two calls (this could, of
course, be a misunderstanding on my part).
It would be nice to get this issue resolved before the new driver is
officially released.
Thanks,
Sverre
PS I've attached my log and config files.
