Hi,
I have a problem when I boot linux (2.4.x and 2.6.x) with video=atyfb and
using the XFree86 'ati' video driver: whenever I switch to any VT console
from X (tty1, tty2, ...), a lot of green blocks appear blinking on the
screen, and then the console sessions become unusable (it's ok to switch back
to X).
When booting with vesafb these green blocks doesn't appear when switching back
into a VT, but a blank screen appears instead. Does anyone have an idea on
where should I go to try to fix this issue (linux' vesafb + atyfb or
XFree86)?
I don't know if this is related to the XFree86' ati driver or to the
atyfb/vesafb kernel driver, but any help will be kindly appreciated.
This is how 'lspci' identifies my video card:
02:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB

Thanks,
