Wow, very interesting.
I've had this issue with X800 GT card, and I was actually wondering how
they got the graphical boot and full widescreen text mode enabled. My
card would lock up after using X for a while, and every time I would run
glxgears.


Wonder if it'll get fixed soon. I really liked full screen text console :)
