I have a similar problem, when I try to change console the screen (but
not X11 screen) turns very dark (if I recall correctly a PR was opened
and that's a radeon(4) and x11/xf86-video-ati problem (I had it with
modular X.org too)).

If you have a radeon(4) or ATI cards probably these two PRs will help:

 o [xsrc/40149] http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=40149
 o [xsrc/40322] http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=40322

In the latter there are also various workarounds though I should read
them more deeply and try them.


Ciao, Leonardo
