Bug Description

Hi. I'm using a fresh install of Dapper. If i switch to any terminal ALT+F1-6, the screen blanks for about a second - and repeats this at seemingly random intervals whilst using the terminal.

System log appears to show:

Jun 7 20:43:42 localhost kernel: [4298706.515000] agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
Jun 7 20:43:42 localhost kernel: [4298706.515000] agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode

Jun 7 20:43:42 localhost kernel: [4298706.515000] [drm] Loading R300 Microcode

after every switch to the terminal.

(Will attach lspci -vv to next post if i can figure out how!)

i have managed to work around this bug by disabling the ubuntu splash screen in grub.conf.

Could you try if this problem is still around in edgy?
