Description of problem: I have a 3 year old Sony Picturebook with a videocard detected as (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4c59) Up until FC3 everything was working fine, but with FC4 and upwards X freezes when switching to and from the text console, usually the first switch is OK, but a second one locks up the system. (Yes, I should have reported this earlier, but until FC5 I found a workaround by using old xorg-x11 rpms) I get nothing in the logs indicating any errors, the screen just goes dark and never recovers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4 The last working version I used was in this rpm. xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm How reproducible: Install basic FC5 with X11. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot to runlevel 3 2. run X as root 3. Ctrl-Alt-F1, Alt-F7, Ctrl-Alt-F1, Alt-F7. Actual results: Screen goes dark and system freezes. Expected results: X should come back again. Additional info: I just found that the vesa driver does not exhibit this problem, I just wanted to report it as I've seen others complaining about this when trying to work around a bug in FC5 when installing on Crusoe cpus (bug 186378). Best regards, Roy.
