I have a machine thats sudeenly lost its console sessions. I dont think its the kernel as the config looks ok, and it *used to work*. Its fine on bootup, but once X starts, switching to a console just gives a blank screen.Its a radeon video card using the radeon driver if that makes a difference
Which Radeon? If it's an R500 chip (X1000 series) I had the same problems on AMD64. I fixed it by upgrading to xf86-video-ati 6.9.0.
