This is strange and shouldn't happen at least when using the radeon driver. Since we don't support KMS for anything but Intel at this moment I have not looked into this more deeply. If X and the console have the same resolution there shouldn't be any flicker.
Yes, that's why I guessed that something was not working correctly ;)
So I guess that KMS is not working well in this setup, since some PLL is still reprogrammed (and sometimes this fails).
All on an oldish ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
Now I wanted to put the module in the initrd, however, loading it from "init=/bin/bash" (I tried that first, just to make sure) gives me a kernel backtrace and basically kills the box.
Also strange. Is this because you still need to load an AGP module?
I'm not sure, I have intel_agp loaded in the running system and it is used, so this might be the issue. (Even though I think something as trivial as intel_agp would not have escaped me... but you never know). Iwill try this again from init=bash once we get a new kernel for FACTORY (the 2.6.32 that's in there is soooo old, that there are hopefully tons of radeon fixes in 2.6.33 that surely will come soon ;) I still hope that the abysmal 2D performance of radeon with RV350 will get a bit better with newer kernel drivers etc...
