Reported by James Pearson as: boot to run level 3 if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable login and type: setterm -blank 0 start X type into an xterm: while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7) ... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left. This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test. Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X, which causes X to shift. Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.
