>Description:
	When using pcvt with a kernel from 20 and 21 April, a text console
	fires up fine.  However, onces started, XFree86 3.1.1 behaves oddly;
	xdm displays the (solid) root window and the login window sans text!
	Switching back to a text mode vt shows some sort of corruption to
	video memory, with each column containing a double-vertical-bar
	pattern across the entire screen.  I use the aperture driver, which
	I suspect is related.

	Everything is working fine with the 19 Apr 1995 kernel that I have.
	(The only reason I'd like a more current kernel is because I
	misconfigured swap in the one that otherwise works :-( ).
>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
