Xorg-7.3_1 + Radeon XPress 200M + VT switch = white screen?

[Matt Dawson]

As subject, has anyone else come across this? X works fine (sans GL as the 
200M is one of those finicky IGP "cards" unsupported by DRI) but all attempts 
to get VT switching to result in anything but a polar bear in a snowstorm 
viewed through bed linen have proved futile. Typed commands into this white 
wonderland work (I can login and shut the machine down).

It's not a major issue as X works fine and I can, at a push, ssh into the box 
if I really need to. If X doesn't start for whatever reason, the console is 
fine. I did have VESA in the kernel, which I removed. Still the same result.

Any ideas? A "me too" would be helpful as misery loves company ;-)
