I thought that LibGGI already has the correct behavior (whatever that is
-- I'll let the resident masters answer), I can confirm that if I start
quake-ggi and switch to another VC *before it actually sets graphics
mode* (initialization, etc.), LibGGI will assume that it is on the
correct VC already and draw on the wrong virtual console.
