    Can't you get to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 ?

    I'm interested because I have an ATI Rage Mobility P/M card
    in my Sony C1VFK which will only work at DefaultDepth 8.
    Otherwise I get a black screen gradually shrinking to a white screen -
    but I can always get to a text console.

    I tried this, but it had no effect in my case.

    It seems to me the Xorg "ati" driver is less than perfect.
