           Summary: r128 (Rage 128) corrupts virtual consoles on X restart
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/ATI Rage128
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sitsofe at yahoo.com


(Orginally reported on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=140253 )

Description of problem:
As soon as X is restarted the virtual terminals have vertical stripes going
across them and no text appears (although the blinking cursor moves around the
screen in the expected fashion as if things were working correctly). Everything
works as expected with resolutions lower than 1400x1050 or if the depth is not 24.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 (Fedora Core 3)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn the machine on.
2. Let it boot and start X and wait for a login.
3. Press Ctrl-alt-backspace.
4. Press Ctrl-alt-F1.

Actual Results:
Screen with vertical stipes going across it and a blinking cursor.

Expected Results:
Normal virtual terminal login text.

Additional info:
lspci output for the card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RF/SG AGP
At some point during the shutdown process the console manages to clean itself up
and appear correctly before the computer turns itself off.

A xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log have already been attached to the Red Hat bugzilla.
