    AtomBIOS/Options: Fix AtomBIOS option handling.

    Only get option value when option has actually been set.

I can not switch back to console after starting X. Everything was fine using earlier versions, including:

    Comment on which options to document in man page

    Document those options in a single place (i.e. the definition
    of enum RHDOpts), and add references to that place where one
    might look for options to document.

Photo of corrupted screen

After switching to console screen slowly changes to something visible on photo. It takes about 10 secs.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know I recently experimented exactly the same problem after changing kernel from 2.6.25.11 to 2.6.26.2. I use linux debian/testing packages and my radeonhd version isn't the most up to date (commit 761940fde7fef72bff18a8b8e840540452cf675a from 14. april).

I also used to have this problem with kernels prior to 2.6.25.


01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 2006
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
	Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
	I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
	Memory at ee100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
	[virtual] Expansion ROM at ee120000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel modules: fglrx

I hope I'm not interfering with irrelevant info.

Thanks !

Rafal: should be fixed now. Please retest.
@Marc: your problem is different. Could it be that you have the fglrx module loaded? Please make sure it has never been loaded since the last boot.

Thanks Egbert, current git works fine.
