Normally I'd avoid a "me too", but I run NetBSD/i386 on such a wide variety of machines, I can't believe anyone is _NOT_ seeing these symptoms.  I can confirm it on:

XF86_SVGA (Neomagic and S3 Virge)
XF86_S3   (various old S3 cards)\
XF86_S3V
XF86_Mach64

and machines:

486/33, 486/66, 486/66 w/ Pentium overdrive 83MHz, Pentium 120, PPro 200,
Dell Lattitude CPi (PII/266).

It does not happen on mac68k or sparc.

A useful datapoint might be from someone who DOESN'T see this.  The above is with GENERIC, with "wscons=NO" in /etc/rc.conf.
