xserver-svga 3.3.2.3 messes virtual terminals

[Jean Orloff <orloff@clermont.in2p3.fr>]

Hi!

I just switched X11 server from s3v to svga (the staroffice install freezes
otherwise). Now I get the rather annoying problem: whenever I start X, all the
virtual terminals get scrambled. I tried the allmighty "reset" inside one of
the terminals with no success. I also tried "stty sane < /dev/tty0" with no
effect. The only thing that worked was switching back and forth to a
preexisting X server.

Questions:

1) what more can I try (outside reboot) to clear the terminals?

2) Any idea what X might do to cause such a scramble on *all* terminals? Every
space has little black dot in it, there are permutations (eg "e" becomes "%"),
but numbers are all OK.

X is working fine, but I feel insecure to live with such garbage in the virtual
terminals.
