You should ask this question again in comp.windows.x.i386unix.
This is something which must be fixed by the XFree86 people.
(Provide sufficient information there).
This looks like a misdetection of the board and therefore improper
restoration of font/text page. I had fixed the same effect for the
ET3000; the reason was that the display segment register was restored
after restoring font/text, so they were reloaded into the wrong page.
It might be a similar effect here.
