      I observed the same on my system using X11R5 with the XF86_S3 (X11R6)
   server  but not when running tin but any other program I can't specify.

   My system: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1, i486DX2-66, 20MB, Adaptec 1742, #9 GXE 64 (1MB),
	      Conner 520MB SCSI, WD1007 (ESDI) with 660MB Seagate

      When  I don't specify  generic_s3 my S3  server  detects mmio_928 and
   crashes after  sone time with a destroyed  screen (vertical color bars).
   The crash when switching between X and ttyv? occurs most when the server
   is restarted (connecting via a chooser or xdm).
