When I switch from X11 to a Linux console (ctrl+alt+f[1-6]) and then try to switch back, the x server uses almost 100% cpu, the x display doesn't come back and I can't do anything anymore, locally. SSH login continues to work but without a restart there is no possibility to use the computer locally again. The same thing happens on a suspend/resume cycle (ACPI S3). This only happens when the radeonfb is active at the same time. Vesafb coexists nicely.

It is basically to resume video on return from S3. The patch is for the Radeon driver. Since i cannot attach the patch here, i will mail it to your email --> j@bitron.ch vicky
I'm guessing that this is a dup of bug 922. Could you try with the latest CVS, which has Radeon Render acceleration disabled by default, and that bug fixed if you do have render accel enabled?
CVS as of yesterday fixed this problem for me, it now works with and without RenderAccel on my Mobility Radeon 9000. But the hang still occurs on a colleague's desktop computer with a Radeon 9600XT with activated Xinerama when switching from X to the console, regardless whether RenderAccel is activated or not.
Closing this one since the issue reported (Render acceleration causing hangs when switching VT) was fixed. Bug reported for a colleague's machine (which can't do Render accel) should be filed separately.
