Are you able to switch between the X session and text vtys by
hitting Ctl-Alt-Fn while the X server is running?

You set syscons into the VESA 132x43 mode.  How did you do that?
Did you run vidcontrol by hand?  Or, you run it in /etc/rc*?
Are all vtys set in this 132x43 mode? Or, just a single vty is set
to this mode?

Have you ever start the X server when all vtys are in the standard
80x25 mode?

Have you had the same or similar problem before with the previous versions 
of XFree86?
