Bug#269953: blank display upon loading radeonfb - 9600XT too
I have a Radeon 9600XT (just installed yesterday) and also observe
this problem upon loading radeonfb. (Note to original submitter:
adding the line
skip="radeonfb"
to /etc/discover-modprobe.conf works around this problem at the
possible expense of some X server performance.)
After loading radeonfb, the text on the console becomes invisible.
The cursor is still visible, and X still works. Unloading radeonfb
does not correct the problem. For what it's worth, my motherboard is
an Asus A7V266 with a 1.4 GHz Athlon (not Athlon XP).

I'd be happy to supply any additional information. X still works with
the "ati" driver if radeonfb is not loaded.
