This has now started working after I specified the framebuffer
resolution on the kernel command-line.  I also disabled the VGA
console support, but this didn't have any effect.

One other thing I have seen is if gdm/X11 is stopped while on a
virtual console (e.g. /etc/init.d/gdm stop on tty1) the framebuffer is
corrupted, but if I stop gdm from within itself (Actions->Reboot)
there is no corruption.

Roger
