I don't, and I have the same problem (radeon 9800). It just doesn't
respond to Control+Alt+F1. I have noticed though that at the very
beginning (seconds after starting your window manager, with gnome
session it didn't work) it will work.
The other ugly solution that was working very good (perfectly!) was
xserver 4.2 and the ati binaries. But it was giving me headaches with
all the xlibmesa dependencies etc, so I installed 4.3 + vesa (ati just
doesn't have any support for my card yet in 4.3).
