Only way I've found so far to make them work reliably again once X is started is to reboot. With various combinations of X running or not and video= and/or vga= used, vttys get scrambled in various ways (font mismatched to row and/or column counts of active mode). While X is running but a vtty is active, X/KDE3 may abort spontaneously. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log.gx110-os131b1-0vga0video-1280x1024maxBAD http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log.gx110-os131b1-1vga1video-1280x1024maxBAD I was unable to find a bug matching this behavior on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
