Okay. So if you were to disable VT switching while the X server were running with the "DontVTSwitch" option described in XF86Config-4(5x), you probably wouldn't notice this problem at all, right? I thought the same VT restoration logic was used for switching as for exiting, but I guess I am mistaken. Does someone else on the debian-x list have a Radeon RV280 [Radeon 9200] rev 1? Can anyone reproduce this? -- G.
