This is why the text monitor's video mode cannot be restaurated according to X correctly anymore.
1. Restoring corrupted textmode fonts. If XFree86 corrupts your textmode font, try putting restorefont in your path and using the shell script runx to run X. runx saves the VGA font data in /tmp/fontdata, and restores it when you exit X. Note that this doesn't help with syncing problems. A more rigorous alternative is to run the 'savetextmode' script before running X, and 'textmode' after. This will restore the textmode registers and the VGA palette in addition to the VGA font.
