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.

Hrm, Martti, have you followed http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/NetBSD7.html#16
Your log has (--) Using wscons driver in pcvt compatibility mode (version 3.32)
Matthieu, does this mean that X/wscons is lacking in this area, or that problems storing/restoring console within a driver will only be revealed when using netbsd?
