On my Dell C800 with a 1400x1050 screen, the only way I got a stable screen (read: not fade to white) when I switch in between X and console was to add some mode lines that a got of some site. Don't ask me what the mean or how `they get them, all I know is that it works. Once I knocked my res. down to 800x600 and 1280x1024, (for which I had no mode lines for) I got the same fade effect upon swithing back and forth. Point beeing, search for some mode lines or @ least figure out how to get them yourself. Just my 2 cents.
