When switching modes using Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus or Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus the screen goes to some strange color with nothing displayed and no pointer. Using Ctrl+Alt+Fn and back to the virtual terminal used by X server restores the display using the new video mode (resolution).
Key Sequence is: Result: Mode is 1600x1200 (initial condition)

Boh. I thought these key combinations were disabled for years now (and Upstream is in the process of adding them again, but not there yet). It certainly doesn't do anything when I'm pressing it.
I hope this is sufficient information for making a correction.
We might have a chance of debugging that if you could start the Xserver
with -logverbose 7 and send us the logfile. It would be helpful if you
could point out what is added to the logfile at the moment you press the
key combination.
