OK, this works for now.
I think however that the kernel shouldn't make assumptions
about the use of virtual screens. It should tell the X server
if present (which it recognizes by the SCR_GRAPHICS bit set)
to give up control, but that's about it. This means it should
call the syncops->detach function and wait for a positive response.
No switching to a screen where one doesn't know what expects him...

best regards
Matthias
