I had this for about 9 months on a laptop with an ATI chipset, bugged 
the hell out of me. It Just Worked one day after an XFree upgrade.

I submitted a patch (based on an idea from Tony Finch, IIRC) to 
conditionally hack  a workaround for this into 'apm', see:

	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/28026

You could use that unchanged for -STABLE, or hack up a small local 
executable that did the vty switching for you and call it from 
rc.suspend/rc.resume.


HTH.
