X and VT-switching bug?

[James Mastros]

Ocasionaly when I have been in X for a while (eg leave it in X overnight),
1)  Switching to a different VT (Crtl-Alt-Fn) takes a long time (several
seconds), and there is a bit of disk-chugging.  (My diagnosis: Not a bug.
The VT-switching code in X is swaped out.)
2)  When I get to the new VT, it displays all low-white (eg 010101, binary
RRGGBB).  Doing a "repaint screen" fixes it (Crtl-L, in most programs (bash
& pine, which were all I had up on VTs)).  However, VT 12 was fine.  (VT 12
has no programs running on it - syslog puts all messages out to it (fine so
long as I don't accidently hit Crtl-S or ScrLock)).  (My diagnosis: No clue,
but I think it's kernel, not X.)

X = xfree86, 3.3.1 - S3V server (havn't checked generic-vga)
Linux = 2.1.70 (to be 2.1.71 soon)
