-current doesn't appear to have as much of a problem, but it's
still there, and 1.6.1 still exhibits it. With -current, the console
display does the same strange video thing, but typically recovers
after a few seconds.

1.6.1 *appears* to do fine as long as the x session is started from
startx instead of xdm, but I haven't tried it enough to be more
certain.
