Dear Maintainer,

Using X on a Thinkpad T60, just upgraded to Debian 8. Previous versions worked fine for
suspend/resume/switch to VT and back

Now switching out of the desktop does something I can only describe as "change RGB for GBR or
similar". Black/white remains perfectly legible, but colours are shifted into a different colour in
such a way that the screen is mostly not legible

You appear to have disabled kms somehow and you are getting the vesa
driver rather than the native radeon driver.

Alex,

That fixed it - many thanks. Should this bug be reassigned to the vesa
driver or marked as closed?

cheers, Rich.
