Bug Description

after upgrading to 2.6.15-23, my 15" dec05 pbook freezes when switching away from the xwindows to a virtual text console (this also happens when system is shutting down)

it seems to be related to xorg <-> framebuffer interaction

2.6.15-22 still works fine

plz lemme know if you need any more details

when comparing dmesg outputs of -22 vs. -23 (and also checking the changelog) I noticed that the radeon drm module was updated; maybe that causes the regression on my hardware:

to
linux-image-2.6.15-23-powerpc 2.6.15-23.39

the freezes went away, but at the same time the drm driver fails to initialize;

therefore I've opened Bug #46578 instead
