Hi,
i have a Rev 1 blue G3 with the ATI128 card, i am running kernel
2.2.15 from pauls tree (pre20, will be final 2.2.15 next time i
reboot)
ever since i started using kernels with aty128 frambuffer support
(2.2.14) i have had this really agrivating problem: whenever i switch
VCs, almost without fail the screen goes black for about 2 full
seconds then slowly fades back in. its as if it goes into powersave
for a second and wakes up again. its driving me INSANE!!
1) has anyone else with this hardware seen this obnoxious behavior?
2) does anyone have any idea how to fix this obnoxious behavior?
here is fbset -v -s -i output:

I use the VCs extensivly and this problem really makes that hard. and
