All seems to work fine, and I can use a console of 1024x768, switch between consoles with different modes, start X11 and then stop it again and have the console return to its previous mode, etc. Almost everything seems to work absolutely great. Except for one minor detail: When I double click on a word, to select this word in a console window, the characters under the cursor and 1-2 characters after it get messed up a bit (i.e. foreground and background colors getting a bit mixed up where the cursor "covers" parts of the characters). - Giorgos
