With latest xorg packages in testing, I cannot switch to my ctrl+alt+f[1-6] terminals. Screen blinks then I see the latest Xorg screen with the color in the upper part mixed up. I can use the terminal but nothing shows up. I can go back to Xorg with ctrl+alt+f7.

I am using i686 packages on an ATI Radeon 9250.
This task depends upon

I've got new informations about this bug.
It happens after a Xorg (?) crash that brings me back to kdm login screen.
This crashed can be caused by different situations :
- Using EXA and trying to launch compiz-fusion (in the other situations I'm using XAA)
- Using virtualbox (winxp guest os) and watching a video on xine at the same time
- I guess there are others situations where the same crash occured but can't say now.
Once Xorg has crashed, the only way to use the "real" terminals is to restart the computer (restarting Xorg doesn't affect anything)
