yes, excerpt from lspci:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics
Controller]
Subsystem: Gateway 2000: Unknown device 5350
Display controller: Intel Corp. 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]
Subsystem: Gateway 2000: Unknown device 5350
excerpt from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
Driver "i810"
i noticed a package called 'xresprobe' that was installed with the xorg
packages. when i ran the command manually it had similar results as when
i tried to switch to a virtual console, except it destroyed my X session
as well. (my VC's were already unavailable.)
i have installed xorg packages on one other machine (nvidia chipset for
the video card) and it is able to switch to the VC's.
so, yes, you should file a bug report.
