Then the new X server isn't restoring a consistent video mode on exit. Try getting it to enter the command `vidcontrol VGA_80x25' either using a script or blind-typing it. This has syscons change the video mode, and hopefully it'll restore the mode to a consistent state. This problem should be reported to the XFree86 developers.
