Are you able to switch between the X session and text vtys by hitting Ctl-Alt-Fn while the X server is running? You set syscons into the VESA 132x43 mode. How did you do that? Did you run vidcontrol by hand? Or, you run it in /etc/rc*? Are all vtys set in this 132x43 mode? Or, just a single vty is set to this mode? Have you ever start the X server when all vtys are in the standard 80x25 mode? Have you had the same or similar problem before with the previous versions of XFree86?
