the fix_fb_fonts.diff patch works for me. (AMD64 + Rage XL)

i compiled linux-source pkg from hardy, it had the same vtswitch bug, and also crashed the machine when staring X with atyfb loaded, serial console showed endless "CPU0: double fault" messages.

applying the patch and recompiling, the resulting kernel doesn't have either problem.

I noticed the target was changed from 8.04 to undefined, perhaps it could go into 8.04, it's a simple patch. Hardy is supposed to be an LTS release with a focus on reliability, so I'm wondering if the ubuntu feature that's causing this should be considered LTS worthy?
