hi friends,

this enables vt switching on my laptop (dell xps 13) with
sandybridge video:

  vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel GT2 Video" rev 0x09

previously it would do nothing on ctrl+alt+f1 and redraw the screen
on ctrl+alt+f5.  now i am able to switch between the console and X
multiple times without any problems or artifacts.

can i get some tests on other sandybridge systems like an x220 and
on non-sandybridge intel video machines?
