If you use control-alt-insert, you can open a new session with the same properties as your existing X session. This will also include 3D support. Well, at least it does for me and I run an ATI 8500, but I dont use the propriatary trash that ATI spews out. It has 5% of the features that it should. The DRM drivers are light years ahead of ATI's own driver. I use the DRM drivers instead.
