Subject: Switching between XF86_SVGA and wscons

I've just installed NetBSD/i386 1.5 (including X) on a PC with an S3
ViRGE/DX-based graphics card. With the XF86_SVGA server, switching back
to a wscons console results in a blank screen, whereas with the XF86_S3V
server, switching works fine. I'm sure I've read about this kind of
problem somewhere before, but a quick check of the mailing list archives
and PR database didn't come up with anything relevant. Has anybody else
seen this?
Incidentally, on another box, running NetBSD 1.4.1 with wscons and
XFree86 3.3.2, both servers switch consoles OK with a ViRGE/VX card.
