Description:When using kernel26-2.6.37 from testing, and xorg-server-1.9.3, exiting Xorg causes my PS/2 keyboard to lock up, and the framebuffer console to not come back.


Additional info:I am using an ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card with two DVI-I monitors connected and nothing else connected to that card.
* package version(s)kernel26-2.6.37;xorg-server-1.9.3

Steps to reproduce:Launch Xorg with startx as a non-priviledged user, then exit it. Notice that the fbcon is not working and that the keyboard has locked up.

This bug makes it so that I cannot use my computer if Xorg crashes or I exit to the console. Also, even the VGA console (no framebuffer!) is affected. That VGA console also exhibits the same problem, where the keyboard locks up, and the console does not appear on the screen.
