Does anyone know the cure for this behaviour?
Splash screen loads nicely and acts as screensaver as it should. However,
when I press a key to exit the screensaver, the contents of all of my
terminals look like they're running by at a high rate of speed. The only way
to get my terminal back is to press ctrl alt F9, then go back to a terminal.
I've made the necessary modifications to the splash configuration section
of /boot/loader.conf, but haven't put any options in /etc/rc.conf

Is this on a laptop? I have had a similar problem on an old IBM
Thinkpad 560. I never have figured out exactly what the problem is, but
I feel that it is likely related to the power management on the laptop.
Generally, this only happens to me after the machine has sat idle for
quite some time. This doesn't answer your question, but I am curious to
see that someone else is having this same issue. Are you able to turn
off all power management features to see if that makes a difference?
Hmmm. Power options made sense, but unfortunately didn't make a
difference. I tried booting into without ACPI mode. Same thing. Tried
disabling all power features in CMOS. Same thing. I originally thought it
was a KDE thing, as the behaviour started after I typed startx. Further
tests showed it was just a timing issue. The screensaver is fine for the
first 2 minutes after bootup, then it gets weird.
Maybe its my bios/cpu/motherboard combo. This is the same system that
refused to work with mplayer...
