(Sorry for creating a monologue here...)

Well, after porting Egbert's changes into the 4.1 driver, this situation
is as follows:

1) Screen gets initialized correctly - as far as I can see. I have not
yet recompiled the kernel to try without vesafb, but I can switch modes
in X (CTRL-ALT-+/-). 640x480 flickers a little bit (looks like a CRT
when the "refresh rate" is too low), but it works basically.

2) Switching between VTs and X causes the machine to somewhat freeze
randomly when switching back to X, i.e. mouse and keyboard dead, network
ok. The system seems alive and I can see the X screen, but I can only
power down the box by pressing the power switch.

3) APM causes trouble, too. Suspend works, but during resume the machine
freezes (for real this time)... resume process is never completed
(PCMCIA does not come up again) and even the network is dead.

Hm. The simularities seem to be point out a problem when re-initializing
the screen (switching back from VT to X <-> resume). Furthermore, the
problems are exactly the same for CVS version.

Maybe I was too fast with my conclusions....
