Hi,
after upgrading xorg related packages, especially:

[...]
[UPGRADE] xorg 1:7.4+4 -> 1:7.5+2
[...]
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1 -> 2:2.9.1-2
[...]

this bug got dramatically worse.

Now, when I start an X session and then quit it (or switch back to the
console by pressing [Ctrl+Alt+F1]) the console looks *really* different:

 a) no login prompt is shown, only a blinking cursor, until I press
[Enter]

 b) console resolution becomes equal to the one used for the X session
(e.g. 1280x1024, checked with the LCD monitor on screen display), even
though it was lower, before starting X

 c) 'toilet -f future' symbols are totally messed up and do not make
sense at all!

 d) if I become root and issue the 'setupcon' command, 'toilet -f
future' symbols work correctly again (without even the broken joints
problem...), but the screen resolution stays as in the X session


I think all this grants at least severity "important" to this bug
report, since X is breaking the configuration of the console, which is
somewhat unrelated: by looking at severity meanings, breaking unrelated
software would correspond to severity "critical" bugs, but I think this
should be reserved to big breakages; what I am experiencing is not a
big breakage, but a really annoying one, anyway.

Please someone help me!
How can this bug be fixed?
