It looks like it doesn't restore the console properly when exiting . I
think the "radeon" driver in the in-base Xfree86 or Xorg has been
patched to do it properly, and maybe that package doesn't contain the
patch. You can also try adding the Option "iBookHacks" line in the
appropriate section in the config file; that used to activate the
patches in the "radeon" driver.

Marco.
