However on exit from the X session back to the ttys, the default mode set on boot (neither vga= nor video= on {Grub Legacy} cmdline), or one that was set via vga= (video= is ignored), may or may not restored. When not, the ttys are left unusable from mismatch between font used and (no longer correct) rows/columns. Apparently the first X session following boot exits OK, but not a second. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
