>Description:
When booting the -7 kernel, the machine switches to the intelfb wscons 
(still with green kernel/white userland text on black as per default).

Loading X with xf86-video-intel works, e.g. mplayer -vo xv needs only
some 2.5% cpu for a scaled-to-fullscreen video.

Switching to a text screen (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) shows only a black screen.
I can log in blindly and check this (from X11) with "who" or by running
"echo ctrl-g"

Switching back to a working X11 with ctrl-alt-F5 works.


>How-To-Repeat:
	ctrl-alt-F1 or ctrl-alt-F2 or ctrl-alt-F3 or ctrl-alt-F4
>Fix:
	workaround: type blindly or use xterm in X11.

 I noticed on one occasion that readable text comes back when
 shutting down the machine.

 each time. So something knows how to switch back to text; it just happens
 that the screen switch routine doesn't.

 With 7.0 Userland & native 7.0 Xorg w. intel_drv, this doesn't happen.
 So the problem is most likely a kernel/userland version problem, and
 at most missing COMPAT_6 code?
