https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6071 "switch/logout/shutdown/... from X --> black screen and no keyboard - RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]"
Have caind of similar thing with latest test 3 release. Radeon 9550 After installation monitor displayed message unsupported resolution (1280x1024 ?), then only black screen. After few resets i was able to kill X server, login via console. Changed driver to vesa, started X, changed driver to ati again. Changed resolution to 1024x768 - now it works, but only for 1024, any other resolution do not display a thing, just black screen.
Tracking in upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6071 now.
