That's actually a bug in many XFree86 and X.org drivers - they're 
notoriously bad at cleaning up after themselves, apparently everyone 
expects the vgahw module to re-initialize VGA text mode on exit which 
really doesn't make any sense on a Mac ( or a Sun and many other 
machines for that matter )
One workaround is to have in-kernel framebuffer drivers which can 
re-initialize whatever mode was used by the console when X exits - we 
have several in -current, they only need to be properly integrated with 
the rest of the wscons framework.

have fun
Michael
