The check "con == currcon" is the same as in ALL other framebuffer drivers.
If this is wrong, all drivers should be changes, not only the ATI one.
As I understand "currcon" variable is not compatible with multi-display
mode,
so it shold be eliminated from all drivers. I don't think that such chanegs
are possible before kernel 2.5.
Check "con == info->display_fg->vc_num" is not compatible with current
implentation
of the display driver high level part. Code in drivers/char/console.c
changes console
palette before performing the switch. With the current check palette for
the new
foreground console somehow becomes loaded before saving palette for the old
foreground console.
