I can confirm the blank virtual terminals once the GUI is started. I
upgraded a Dell w/ the 82865 video today. At least X seems to be working
well.
There is a bug submitted with the alias green-border which probably
relates to the blank VT, blue border, wrapping text and discolored text.
I didn't try the patch (Actually replacing binaries of one X verion with
the binaries from an FC3 version)
There is a bug report for FC4. I added a "me too" and added myself to
the CC.
