<pre>Now it gets confusing. It appears I was wrong my fix is not a fix.
It depends on what order you do things and also a bit on what is on the
graphical screen as to if you see it or not. The good bit is I appear now to
have a method to make it fail etc (and sort of work).
If I have ctrl-alt-F1 with the graphical login screen
ctrl-alt-F2 is a logged in session
ctrl-alt-F3 is the character based login. This is the screen display with the
problem visible on it.
Swap from F1<->F3 100% looks OK
Swap F1<->F2 100% OK (always was and never had an issue)
Swap F2<->F3 and my problem is there.
Do F2->F3 (problem there) do F3->F1->F3 problem not there
Or do F2->F1->F3 problem not there.
It fixes up the display if I go through the F1 (graphical login) screen.
I just re-tested my machines with my X11 conf file there and not there and the
behaviour is as described above. The file makes no difference.
I had not noticed that behaviour before as I normally go from F2-F3 and back
again without going through F1.
Also something I have noticed is that when I swap out of F2 for a moment the
screen goes silly in the top left with the graphical data and F3 does not clear
it but F1 seams to clear it out.
My guess is the swap screen code is writing the data out (maybe only as
temporary buffer) and F1 (as an initialisation code) clear that temporary area
out) and that is what is happening and why F1 fixes it.
Might have been helpful to know that.</pre>
