The theory behind DRI covers this fine. If its breaking fix the bugs in the
Xserver and DRI code.

Hi!
Console colors are completely messed up (read: black, I even suspect
the font to be corrupt somehow) if switching back to console mode
from X (either by quitting or ctrl-alt-fX) in recent 2.4.0-textXX

known fix?
