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.

Hi, I don't seem to have hardware acceleration for OpenGL on any
virtual terminals other than the initial one (vt7). Is this the way it
is supposed to be? Also, the 2D acceleration on vts other than vt7
don't seem to be as fast as the vt7, although I do have TV-Out.
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9200 Pro using the proprietary drivers
media-video/ati-drivers-8.12.10 and kdm/kde-3.4 to create the new
virtual terminals.
TIA,
