when using fglrx for 3d acceleration all modeswitching provided by the non-free
kernel module is moot point. There simply is no vterm at all to switch to.If
for any reason X11 breaks you are up shit creek and must play whack-a-mole with
the hard reset button to recover. This may be a config issue but the config
needs to be posted somewhere so people know what to do. Using PITCAIRN
hardware(HD 7850 x2).
