One thing to note about this (and other similar reports that XFree86 
leaves the text console garbled on exit on NetBSD and OpenBSD) is that
the Linux console driver does its own VGA registers save/restore when 
switching VTs, while the wscons driver used by NetBSD and OpenBSD
doesn't save/restore anything. 

I don't know if the proper fix is to duplicate the code from the Linux
console driver in the X server for the systems that need it, or to add
this ""feature" to the wscons driver.
