I have a Compaq Armada M700 with ATI Mobility on it and I had the same problems with running framebuffer on the console and X window (using ati2 module). This went away however, when I switched into version 4.1.0.1. I also tried to get kernel's ati framebuffer (for the console) to work, but no success. I couldn't figure out why it's not working; all I was getting was black screen ...Right now I'm using vesa in 1024x786, not without the glitches but generally it works all right. greetings, -- Lukasz
