A normal X server, or an fbdev/GGI one ?  A normal X server will
program the hardware directly, I guess that normally is fine since it
puts the console in KD_GRAPHICS mode (telling fbcon to bugger off).

But then you run fbset or the fbdev target, and it the kernel tries to
program the hardware (using wrong data, since the X server has changed
everything).  Boom.  Video card hosed, and neither the kernel nor the
X server have enough info to fix it...

Cheers,
