What happens when you do a 'setfont' to reload the font you were
using? Does this fix the problem?
Font save/restore is (should be) by the kernel. I once made the
necessary adjustments there. At the time this happens the driver
should not access the card any more as we are in the middle of a
VT switch.
Thus the only thing that could happen is that the card is not
fully restored in which case the problem should persist when you
do a 'setfont' on the console.
Cheers,
Egbert.

update 2008-06-17: the text corruption is when I switch back from the
X server to the virtual terminal console, and the pattern that a log
of characters get set changes each boot
Is anyone able to tell me a good way to start debugging this?
