Yes. I can switch back to X. I can even quit X and from the corrupted console start X again.

Can you tell me more about the corruption you are seeing in textmode?
Is the first line the line at the very top of the screen or is it the current line? What is garbage? Random values printed as characters?
What happens if you type?
Also, can you try the vesa driver and verify that this is a problem only with the via driver?
