Well, it was working with the ati driver in 4.2.x that came with OpenBSD 3.2
(should have mentioned the OS). Thanks, though. Actually, the only reason I went to
the trouble of installing 4.3.0 was to fix this ghosting/blurring/echoing artifact, which
had nothing to do with the drivers - it was my multiple vga cable connections. I can live
with it, though, if I don't want X running (and want the console), rebooting isn't a problem.
Really no big deal. Thanks everyone.

It's a shot it the dark, but...check to see if your kernel has Radeon display support enabled.
I encountered the same symptoms running a distribution kernel (Debian Woody) with a FireGL 1000 Pro Card.
In my case all the virtual consoles went away when _entering_ X with startx. But that wasn't apparent until you exited X.
I built a new kernel with the correct options and, _voila_, the problem went away.


Also, a good reference is:
