Ok. My last patched fixed that. I tried it using a remote ssh
connection and it worked perfectly.
What's happening here is that the radeon driver doesn't switch the
card's video mode when I run the test. The fbtest program also shows a
limited set of capabilities (no color modes) when I run it and aborts
with a signal 11. It also kills the VGA font since I'm not saving video
memory anymore. I noticed the other drivers do a VGA save/restore when
they are opened or closed.
Time to look at the code some more...
John
