Dan,
I somehow managed to "fix" things without having to try a newer kernel!
I'm not 100% sure but I think my virtual terminal and console problems
went away after I re-enabled the "UseFBDev" option in XFConfig-4. I was
previously unable to use this option with video=ofonly but after
switching to video=radeon:dfp I am now able to re-enable this option. I
now have a good console at boot and shutdown and no longer get a blank
screen when switching from X to a VT.
Thanks for the help!
