hmm. I've looked a bit at the setfont code and the kernel code. I believe that
dropping the kbd patch "be-nice-to-kdm" for setfont and replacing it with a
return -1 in line 269 would fix the issue.
one part I don't understand in the kernel is that the PIO_FONT calls don't
always work on the vty that was passed in, but most of the time on the current
foreground vty.
however, sometimes they operate on the one that was passed in, and I guess here
a check is missing if this is the one in foreground, and otherwise not trash
the graphics card.
to me, its a kernel bug.
