finally, i'm using a 2.6.1-ben1 with no additional patch or workaround.

i've not tried your suggested hack for the turn back to console problem.
next week i'll find a couple of minutes to patch X and i'll write a
report onto this list.

The mode used for cloning the display is picked by the X driver
according to strange rules I don't fully get at this point ;)

Regarding the switch to console, commenting out the various call
to vgaHWxxxx in RADEONSave() & RADEONRestore() may help.

Ben.
