-current kernel of today, wscons screen will not override the contents of
X screen after resuming.
Some machine (NEC MobileGear2 530 etc) can't keep
the contents of screen while a long long time suspending.
In -current kernel, when console is WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL mode,
fb driver redraws console texts.
In 1.5 kernel, fb driver can't know WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL or not,
so it always redraws them.
It needs to be run xrefresh(1) after long suspending with running X,
or someone needs to enhance Xhpc takemura-san was described.
