With the current HEAD driver, monitor flickers when trying to switch to a virtual terminal. The flickering is still there when the x server closes (e.g. during the shutdown). I tried both with and without framebuffer.
Created attachment 11439 [details] X.org log (the switches from and to the vt has been emphasized)
Can you try again with ati git master?
I compile (almost) daily the git master since the randr-1.2 branch was merged into it, and the problem is still there :( when X.org starts, the system is not able anymore to switch to "text" mode.
Any change with current ati git?

Sorry, I forgot to "ping" this bug. The issue is still there (Xorg 7.4 from debian experimental packages, radeon driver from today's git). The messages written in Xorg.0.log during vt switch are slightly different from the ones I reported: Changing to VT: (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch (II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() : (II) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION : 0x1fff0000 0xd3ffd000 (II) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION : 0x27ff2000 finished PLL2 finished PLL1 Entering Restore TV Restore TV PLL Restore TVHV Restore TV Restarts Restore Timing Tables Restore TV standard Leaving Restore TV ================ Restoring from (broken) VT: (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch (II) RADEON(0): Dynamic Clock Scaling Enabled init memmap init common init crtc1 init pll1 restore memmap (II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() : (II) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION : 0xd3ffd000 0x1fff0000 (II) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION : 0xffffffc0 restore common restore crtc1 restore pll1 restore LVDS (II) RADEON(0): [RESUME] Attempting to re-init Radeon hardware.

Is this still an issue with kms or newer versions of the driver?
(In reply to comment #8) > Is this still an issue with kms or newer versions of the driver? Yes, it is (sorry for my lack of updates), but with KMS is different. I'm currently using Debian Squeeze: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-2 xserver-xorg 1:7.5+7 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.7-8 libdrm2 2.4.21-1~squeeze3 linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-26 (it contains drm from 2.6.34) When KMS is turned on (default behaviour), the flickering stars when (I think) the kernel module is loaded (I don't know if radeon or drm) and when Xorg starts, the flickering is fixed (just like Xorg change some values) and virtual consoles work again. How can I help to debug this issue?
