Comment 300 for bug 129910

Hello,

I have had a similar problem. I use "ati radeon x1300 pro", "dell 2007wfp" with 1680x1050@60. I installed the ati driver by amd (the free driver does not work for me). I have compiz installed and works almost fine (except the image quality in cube is not good enough).

using radeonfb, vesafb and fbcon with default /boot/grub/menu.lst, i get virtual terminals and xserver is on tty7. but if i use the boot-up manager to change the dafault to "show bootloader", "show boot splash", and "show text during boot" (note:all the three), then i get no virtual terminal and gdm moves to tty9!

is this a different bug?

honestly, i do not see this as a major problem, but however wondered if there is a solution to this.

i appreciate your response in advance. thanks. marhahs
