Is it possible to have it swich as fast as is switching between 
virtual consoles?

If I set exactly the same video mode on my text console and X (I mean 
resolution, timings, etc to be the same, one text and the other 
graphics mode of course) will it switch fast? It won't have to change 
video modes.

Or maybe if I install a framebuffer and run both text and X console 
through a framebuffer it will be fast?


Is there some reason you need to constantly switch to the VTs? Can you
just use xterm instead? That would make switching a lot faster. :)

Faster processor?
