I can also confirm this issue, unfortunately after moving from Gentoo,
to Ubuntu 8.04, I also get the vcons switching issue (which the posted
workaround in <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion/+bug/144178">bug #144178</a> does not
seem to work for me.  Perhaps this is because I'm using vesafb, and not
vga16fb).

I wish I could be of more use.  Disabling DPMS is the only workaround I
can think of for the moment.  Is anyone in a position to actually debug
this and investigate the cause?
