XFree 4.1 on ATI rage128

[Christoph Ulrich Scholler <scholler@fsmb.tu-darmstadt.de>]

hi,

i recently upgraded my laptop running sid (dell inspiron 8000, ati
mobility m4 rage128 32mb) to xfree 4.1.  it boots fine, switches to x
and works nicely under x.  only when i switch back to the text-console,
i get stripes on all ttys.  these stripes are vertical and look like a
character cell half white half black.  switching back to x works fine.
it is really only that the text-mode is unusable after having switched
to x once.  is anyone experiencing the same?  are there any known cures?
could it be due to some framebuffer issue?  i did not configure any kind
of frambuffer.  i'd be grateful for every hint.

regards,

uLI
