I use radeonfb and when switching from X to console my two monitors
will go out of sync. The VT is actually there since I can type on it,
but I can't see anything on neither of my two monitors :(

Jurriaan's problem told me that I'm probably over-engineering the mode
switch code. Perhaps the ugly workaround patch is not necessary.  All
that is needed is to bypass fbcon_resize() and just do a simple
set_par().

David, Javier, can you try the patch below?  Reverse the one with the big
HACK ALERT comment first.  If it works for you two, the code just became
simpler.

With this patch, X won't even get to the point of showing an X cursor :-(

Ok, so the hack is really needed.  Forget the patch then. 

Thanks

Tony
