I booted a ruby-2.6.9 with vgacon only, no framebuffers
at all.  It came up, and died when running xdm.

So I tried single-user mode and found that ruby works fine,
and the second keyboard attaches to a dummycon as vt17.
(cat /dev/tty17 displays stuff entered on the other keyboard)

Running an xserver on the bios-initialized G550 works, using
either vt7 or vt17 as keyboard.

Running an xserver on the radeon pci card blanks out
the vga display (which runs on the G550 - strange) and
hangs the pc.  No sysrq or anything else - the reset
button is the only way out.

Any ideas what this could be, the same setup works very well with
ruby 2.6.8.

I'll try to run a radeon xserver on plain 2.6.9 to see if
2.6.9 simply broke my radeon.
