Once X is up, trying to switch to a virtual console leaves you with a blank screen until you reboot. I have 2 graphics controllers in this laptop and have to cut one of them out of my xorg.conf in order for it to work. This laptop isn't meant to use both graphics controllers at the same time, so perhaps your configuration will work much better - I'd be curious to know. -- DE
