I wonder if it's related to a fix I had to make to prevent it from crashing this TiBook hard. In RADEONSwitchMode(), can you try changing RADEONCP_STOP(pScrn, info) to info->accel->Sync(pScrn) and removing the RADEONCP_START() call? That would only make a difference for switching modes though, not for switching VTs or restarting the server. Also, you seem to be running an older Athlon box, which were said to be unstable with Radeons.
