This happened on the Helio also. Taking a hint from the vhl-tools W Windows patches, I
added the following chunk of code to fbdev.c to fix this on the Helio:
------8<------
/* Put the console into graphics-only mode */
#ifdef CONFIG_LINUX_MIPS
/* horrible hack (from wserver's linux.c) */
{
int xx = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR);
if (xx >= 0) {
ioctl(xx, KDSETMODE, KD_GRAPHICS);
close(xx);
}
}
#endif
------>8------
This is indeed just a hack, though, so I suppose it doesn't work on the VR3 too. I'd
suggest checking the X server source code to see how it disables the VR3 text console.

The X server probably has code to fix this too.

Well, hopefully I'll be getting a VR3d soon so I'll be able to help :)

To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a
