When a KMS driver is loaded, the history buffer of vt(4) grows and the
current data is preserved. Therefore you should not lose any data.

One caveat is that the cursor is put at the top of the screen, so the
previous content is off-screen. Another issue is that the history size
(hard-coded) is admittedly very small. But data should be there.

Could you please describe your problem in more details?
