kernel 2.6.0-test9 & xfree86

[Adam Done]

After many test compiles with all 2.6.x kernels I have come up with an issue dealing with xfree86 4.2.1-13.  When the system was done booting and ran gdm I only could use one X display and had no access to any tty terminal windows.  I  then tried to boot into text first and found out that I  could use any tty to log in to the box.  Now when I use startx it does not start in the correct tty but in tty1 and then have no access to any other tty.

I gather it has to deal with fbdev in x but do not have any other idea to what my cause this.

The fbdev code in 2.6 has been redesigned, but the major change is that
all this hardware-specific character drawing code is gone in favor of
generic character drawing code that uses hardware specific rectfill,
imageblit and copyarea functions. At least that's what I've seen from
comparing the rivafb drivers.

my XFree86config file has this in it.

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ati128"
        Driver          "fbdev"
        BusID           "PCI:0:16:0"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection


Has this changed since 2.6?
