This sounds like something we fixed a long time ago in pm2fb: It used to
reprogram the RAMDAC on every switch, which caused some monitors to resync,
which I think is what you observe.
Maybe aty128fb could be changed as well to only reprogram the RAMDAC if the
mode on the new VC is different from the old one.
