I got this problem when I upgrade to kernel 2.6.15 in experimental,
2.6.15-rc5-686 to be exact. I boot to console (no xdm, gdm etc installed) and
start X/gnome with startx and when I quit X by the usual way through the panel
menu "Desktop|Log out" (I usually choose save current setup but I don't think
that matters), I cannot get back to the console, just a blank black screen and
no response to key press. I have to turn off the power.

However I *don't* think it's an ATI driver problem as I don't have the problem
with a 2.6.12-1 kernel. I use fglrx 8.20.8-1 built from from debian sid using
m-a for both kernels. This is a T43.

I'd like to investigate further and would be grateful for pointers on how to go
about doing that.

ST
