Re: rhgb is messing up my virtual terminals.

Actually over the weekend I did some more investigating of the problem and
found that it is not rhgb, but rather it appears to be the use of the
framebuffer X modules with my All-In-Wonder Radeon card.  I found that even
after I had disabled rhgb I still  saw the same problem, only now I had to
restart the X server to do it.  This explains why initially after loading up
without rhgb I saw no problems with the virtual terminal, where as with rhgb I
saw them immediately after load up, rhgb starts an X server instance and then
once it's done the X server is restart for the first login.

Considering this I did a few things.  I removed all options within XF86config
and added nofb to the boot options.  Since I also needed to replace my X
drivers with the ones from the gatos project so that I can could make use of
my video features I did this as well recognizing the chance that this might
help also.  With the changes I was able to finally make the problem go away
and was even able to re-enable rhgb seeing as there is no longer a problem
with restart the X server.

I intend to investigate this further so that I can isolate exactly what
combination of changes are need to alleviate this issue.  Once I have, I will
post my findings and so that the appropriate people can try to see if there is
a better solution that does not require the disabling of any features.  As it
is, unless a way can be found to make the gatos km module and the Radeon
framebuffer device compatible I intend to not make use of the framebuffer, so
this will not be a big issue for me.
