Strange signs in the console during and after X

Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all
XFree86 version: all

Symptom:

After the X server's start, the signset in the console is mutilated. This remains when the X server is exited. On the other hand, future (blind) entries can be done.

Should the last one not be correct, please read the article Mutilated sign display when leaving X.

Cause:

In some graphic cards, the X server can overwrite the area in which the graphic card saves the console signset, with the graphic screen's content.
