Created attachment 17703 [details] HD3850 Xorg log On both X1600pro and HD3850 AGPs switching VT or quitting X will result in a blank but functioning VGA console, CRT monitor will go into standby. Does not happen with radeonhd/vesa/fglrx drivers. On the X1600 switching back to the X VT would revive the monitor - this does not work with the HD3850. Running the vesa driver first totally fixed the problem for the X1600, but although it fixes the vga console on switch/quit for the HD3850 it does not fix the loss of display when switching back to X with <ctrl> <alt> <F7>. The monitor goes in and out of dpms standby OK with both cards. bash-3.2$ dmesg | grep -i vga Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 I guess means I am not using any vesa/radeonfb. If I connect svideo TV out on the HD3850 I do not loose that display when the monitor is not displaying console.
The commit - "Fix console switch on R500" fixes the vga console issue for me. If I still had the R5xx then I expect it would totally OK. I still have the RV670 problem that after switching to a console I get a black display when switching back to the X VT. The monitor remains on and X is fully functional AFAICT. Maybe this should be filed as a separate R600 bug and this one closed?
