           Summary: Xorg hangs when changing to console
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: drzeus-bugzilla at drzeus.cx


FC3 with Xorg 6.8.1. Radeon 9700.

When changing to a text console from X then server locks up stealing keybord and
mouse. System still responds to network and power button.

If "NoAccel" is used then the server does not lock up but the state is not
properly restored. Instead I get remains of the image (the same junk you get
when starting the X server before it clears the memory). Changing back to the
server with Alt+F7 works fine.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace works fine in both of these cases, as does shutting down the
machine (console is restored when X server is killed).

This behaviour appeared in 6.8. The machine was previously running FC2 with xorg
6.7.0.
