[Bug 448628] [NEW] text-mode tty displays garbage

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When switching to text terminals (control-alt-f1 for instance), only garbage is displayed and text terminals are useless.
this used to work even in karmic alpha5 but here post-beta it's broken.

I'll attach my lspci -vvnn and dmesg but it's RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE].
