JFYI, I noticed, that when running X.org + xf86-video-intel
(recent versions, things updated meanwhile, but the effect stays),
X seem to overwrite console output (!). When it is vga, this looks
like overwriting character generator, console becomes unusable
with the time, and the system requires reboot. When it is vesafb,
it looks like horizontal coloured lines.

Is it possible, that the driver erroneously detects memory region,
where it is allowed/supposed to write to?

I don't have any idea, what I could check in this situation,
but this forced me in using vesafb as a workaround for the console
slowly getting into completely unusable state.
