Hi,
I see a radeon regression here with 2.6.36-rc7.
I updated a system from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36-rc7. Now I cannot switch to the text console from the X server anymore; the screen just keeps displaying the X desktop. Eventually when I switch back to X things work again.
The console switching worked in 2.6.35 (I had occasional GPU hangs in .35, but console switch always worked) I didn't change the Xserver userland.
The system has a ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730 running Dual Head.
You're using the radeonhd driver, which is not supported and outdated. Try to remove /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonhd_drv.so and start X again...
