I believe you, although... why doesn't it happen with 2.2.17? vconsole
buffers in a different place in memory, I suppose?

I'll forward this to the XFree team. Thanks!

Known bug, they're working on it.

If you want to avoid the corruption, use the Vesa framebuffer driver for
the console for the time being, it works fine for the Radeon.
