I'm wondering: what does the X driver have to do with a console
problem? Shouldn't the console code do this by itself?
Also, I'm not sure whether the problem is related, but the
console-setup FAQ says:
And sometimes the console setup is never remembered. In this case
you will have to use framebuffer (try "modprobe vga16fb"). Another
uption is to to use the "setupcon" utility whenever you need to
restore the console setup and hope that the problem will be fixed
in some future version of X Window. You may want to send a bug
report to the X developers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But is it dependent on the X driver or not?
