In my case, with your changes the console worked fine unless I started X. When switching from or exiting X, the screen would stay blank. The shell still works at that point, I just couldn't see it. Changing video modes with vidcontrol didn't help. My startup scripts do change the video mode for all screens. I don't use moused at all FWIW. -- Skip, who doesn't work for Verizon.
