Hi, I get a strange display corruption on the laptop panel with the radeon driver when switching from X to console. It also may occure when shuting down X. See the attached shots. It does not always happen and it happens at random times. The problem usually stays like this when I switch back to X again, see the 2nd shot for this (looks like every 2nd line gets displayed a bit left of the right). After a few more vt switches it usually goes away again. External monitor in clone mode does not show the corruption and screenshots don't show it either. There is also no difference if I radeonfb is running or if I only have plain text console. A short test showed that the vesa X driver does not seem to have this problem. The attached logs are from the Gentoo 6.8.0-r3, but I also tryed the official release tarballs and xfree. They all have this problem. I hope this is only a configuration problem on my side.

Please try the latest release and report whether or not the problem still exists.
I'm sorry but I can't do further testing. The soundchip of this laptop broke. I therefore returned it.
