With the vesafb frame buffer, switching to the console gives a black screen. 

It is a bit more tricky to get the console prompt again.The only mode that
works, despite the 2 pages long vesa modes returned from the vesafb driver at
boot time with a X800 card, is 265. It is similar to a text mode. Indeed,
something is wrong in the vesafb driver as well.

To get the console prompt reappear again, since the screen is black, I have to
log in as root in a "blind mode" and run vbetool vbemode set 265. Alt-F7 works
then again.
