Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

[Peter Nelson <rufus@hackish.org>]

I had similar issues on i386 when using both the fglrx drivers and the 
radeonfb console frame buffer.  Try disabling your console frame buffer 
(or maybe loading vesafb instead of radeonfb?) and it should be fine.  
Obviously a sub-optimal solution, but I think accelerated X11 is far 
more important than accelerated console.
