Question regarding VT switches

2004-01-20 Thread Lucas Correia Villa Real
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 
[Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB]
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
Memory at ec00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
Memory at eb80 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at ee7c [disabled] [size=128K]

Thanks,
Lucas

Oh, I forgot to inform the XFree86 release. I'm running XFree86 4.3 here 
(didn't test with the latest CVS version yet).
