What is the right way to change the console configuration at run-time, now ? Or where should I look for this info ? Did it become impossible (would be a severe bug, at least for me...) ?

So it seems to be an X driver problem... But X is still buggy when it doesn't use DRI, at least in 32 bits modes. I know it's quite certain that it's an X bug, but I really would like to understand why it works with 2.4 kernels and not with 2.6 ones. The X problem is there even if I use the VGA console (I mean with a kernel with fb support _not_ activated).
Thanks for the infos.
