The kernel VT subsystem issue a special blank call to the console driver (I recently fixed issues there to catch those properly). fbcon will for a set mode when getting one of those going from gfx->textI don't have fbcon loaded, I'm using vgacon. I'll try adding a printk on the radeonfb blank call and see if I am getting one on VT swap.
There is no possible connection between the fbdev and the VT subsystem if you don't have fbcon. It's the only link between those.
The special blank call is probably what is failing. It's the primary card that is transitioning from gfx->text, not the secondary radeonfb card. Telling the secondary card it is transitioning when it really isn't will probably mess it up. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
