It must have missed sending some crucial reset instruction - which the reawaken
via Fn key sends.

I have never seen an Aristo but a dif't model that had X vs. Text problems
was "cured" when I switched to a framebuffer kernel. The textmode framebuffer
handled the restes and it all looked very nice after that. Prettier font too.
