+ background is now a magnified image derived from the X screen
+ background, and text is unreadable. Also I'm not sure this system is
+ using openchrome.]
  
  When I switch to a text console with ctrl-alt-Fn, I get a background
  screen filled with multicolored random pixels. I am able to log in
  (despite not being able to see what I'm typing), and can switch back to
  X with alt-F7, and see the login with 'who'. I believe this system is
  using a Openchrome driver. This has been happening at least since the
  Karmic beta release. This system has a Jetway 625EMPxxx or 625EMWxxx
  motherboard with a VIA chipset. The graphic controller is

  This is also happening on my other Karmic test system, an Averatec 3280
  laptop. The behavior switching into and out of a text console is
  identical to what I see on this system. The laptop's graphic controller
