Hello,
the SONY PCG U3 device has a

graphics card. With linux 3.1.10, X.org server 7.6_1.10.4 and xf86-video-ati-6.14.2, switching from KMS'd console to X on tty7 yields a white screen that also stays when attempting to back to tty1.
I have to boot with nomodeset to get a usable Xorg picture. Is it just that radeon_drv does not work together with KMS?
It should work fine. Does it work any better with a newer kernel? Is this a regression? If so, what was the last kernel that was working properly? Please file a bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org and attach your xorg log and dmesg output.
