When this problem existed for 80x25 terminals, someone from NetBSD
corrected it. What I don't understand: I have a 80x25 console and
80x50 terminals. After using X11, the 80x50 terminals are black (and
completely black!) while the console in 80x25 stays fine. If X11 were
doing something very wrong, I'd expect the behaviour to influence both
the console and the terminals.
