FYI, on my not-as-shiny-as-the-tibook new T30, switching to VTY and back to 
X solves the problem every time I tried it.  Note that:
 - my VTYs run at 80x50
 - This is XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
 - I'm using standard xf86cfg-generated XF86Config (no device options)
 - I'm not using GENERIC kernel, relavent options might include:
   - I'm not using splash
   - no VESA either
   - MAXCONS=32
   - I have options AUTO_EOI_1
   - -STABLE from around Jul 15

I'm not a heavy X user (MAXCONS=32!), so it could just be my luck so far.  
YMMV.
