Description Christian Henz 2008-01-26 17:44:27 UTC

When I try to switch to a virtual console via crl-alt-fn or if i shut down the x server, the screen is corrupted. Either the whole screen is filled with one color, or there is framebuffer garbage on there. I can change back to the X server (alt-f7) or start a new x server and the display works again, but the virtual console remains garbled.

Intel driver is v2.2.0
Hardware is Intel G965

A VT switch bug has been fixed after 2.2.0 released. Please try the git tip or
the upcoming 2.2.1 release. Please reopen if you still see the same problem
with the new driver.

I tried the current git and it works again.
