Comment 9 for bug 21416

I have same laptop,graphics (acer 1350, kn400) and it's running dapper.

3D works fine with or without the VBEModes option.

I can't comment on the VT switching problem because I can't switch between VT's! Ctrl-Alt-Fx does nothing. I have had this problem for a long time and I erroneously believed it was a trade off for having user switching in X. Perhaps that was true at one point, but it seems to be deprecated now. This happens with or without the VBEModes option.

My inittab looks fine and my Ctrl and Alt keys work.

I am not using any vga=xxx options at boot time. If I try and boot with vga=791 I get a blank screen. vga=791 has worked correctly in the past, but not at the moment.

Sometimes when I log out I get a blank screen and I have to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset things. This seems to have got worse recently - sometimes have to do this 2 or 3 times to get gdm login screen back.

Not sure if this is a kernel issue or a via driver issue or a combination of both. If there is a more appropriate bug report elsewhere, I couldn't find it.
