[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#712527: fglrx-driver: fglrx breaks virtual consoles

[Thethird Henry]

Hi Andrew,

I was able to find a workaround to your problem.
For the little story I was experiencing the same problem on my own config (since dist-upgrade from wheezy to jessie).
My config:

* GNU/Debian jessie/sid

*"linux 3.9-1-amd64"
* fglrx-* : 1:13.4-2


In order to "recover" access to the TTY I just update some grub2 config files :
1) in /etc/default/grub add the following :
    GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768,800x600
2) in /etc/grub.d/00_header add the following just after the line "set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}"
    set gfxpayload=1280x1024,1024x768x,800x600
3) launch command to update grub:
    $> update-grub

And after a reboot everything come back to normal : access to TTY with the CTRL-ALT-F* was available...

Best regards,
