Funny, I can't reproduce the bug neither. I've removed some parts from my xorg.conf, maybe the problem came from here. >> * When I don't use the native resolution (i.e the radeon firmwares are not >> loaded) switching from a tty to another results sometimes in a black screen >> when only some colors are displayed.

Please note again that I can reproduce this bug only when I don't have any firmware loaded / KMS enabled. I just boot with stock vt and vt_vga enabled. In the video I've successfully reproduced the bug two times by switching ttys at around 0:25 when you can see just the cursor shown and also at 0:40 where you can see some garbage colors which came from vim. You can also notice that sometimes switching from one to other displays some artifacts until it is refreshed. >> And some questions: >> >> * Will you add support for dead keys?
