Problems with X 4.3.0

[Jean-Sébastien Guay <jean_seb@videotron.ca>]

Hello,
 
I am running Debian testing, and have recently upgraded to XFree86 4.3.0
using "apt-get upgrade". I have a problem I have no idea how to solve, so I
would appreciate a few pointers.

If I try to change to a text terminal once X is started (using Ctrl-Alt-F1
for example), no text is displayed. It looks as if the monitor is not
switched back to text mode or is in an invalid frequency range, because I
see some lines moving everywhere on the screen but no text. However, I can
type commands and they are executed (I know because, for example, I can
"shutdown -r now") but I have no idea why I can't see the text... And I can
switch back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7 just fine.

Here is my XF86Config-4 file, in case that makes any difference. I generated
it with xf86cfg, and tweaked it a bit (i.e. added a DefaultDepth line and
the Modes lines in each depth to limit the modes I want). If you're
wondering why I have a BusID line in the Device section for my video card,
it's because X would not start ("no screens found") if I didn't put it in.
This is also new for me, because the X version I had before (4.2.1 I
believe) did not need this.
