Which display driver are you using for X? Using Xinerama/multi-displays or similar? I noticed this behaviour once on a dual-monitor setup. After starting X then exiting it, I noticed the problems that you describe on the primary monitor. However the secondary monitor was showing the output as normal (including cursor) if I remember correctly. Both displays were running from a single GeForce4 Ti card, using the nvidia binary driver under X. No framebuffer.
Never found the problem, but never really investigated either.
