I have also seen this on some of the systems I use myself, where
switching VTs locks up the video for a second or two. It seems to be
unrelated to any of my Syscons and TTY changes, because I have also
experienced this before I worked on MPSAFE TTY.

Happily enough, this issue isn't present in my own console driver,
because it doesn't reprogram the graphics hardware when switching
virtual terminals, which I suspect it is related to.
