(sorry if some of you get this double - I forgot to hit "reply all" when I
first replied...)
I've come across a similar bug with the binary blob driver from nvidia - and
compositing state doesn't matter. The fbconsole switch leaves that system with
an image of the desktop, but said image is non-responsive. In the case of an
application or game that was running in a fullscreen window it will lose some
events and generally get stuck non-working and showing nothing. After seeing
the report of problems with the fbcon switch (I've also seen some artifacting
and/or "garbage" with the binary blob) I'm wondering if there might not be a
hardware bug that nvidia manages to paper-over in the windows version of the
driver that nouveau and the ugly binary-blob are unable to miss in Linux...
