Bug#446509: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Switching from X to VT gets the screen blank. Can't switch back to X.

[Elimar Riesebieter <riesebie@lxtec.de>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.195-2
Severity: important

Reverting the "193" optins in Device Section and falling back to
6.7.193 works pretty well.
