Last I used that laptop, there still was no resolution.  The only thing 
I could find to prevent it from happening in the first place is to not 
use xscreensaver, xrander, etc.  Once I disabled those apps, the 
flashing console went away.

I did find that 'startx' from the flashing console, and immediately 
closing X would drop me back to a normal, visible console.
