I use radeonfb and when switching from X to console my two monitors will
go out of sync. The VT is actually there since I can type on it, but I
can't see anything on neither of my two monitors :(
Jurriaan's problem told me that I'm probably over-engineering the mode switch
code. Perhaps the ugly workaround patch is not necessary.  All that is needed
is to bypass fbcon_resize() and just do a simple set_par().

David, Javier, can you try the patch below?  Reverse the one with the big
HACK ALERT comment first.  If it works for you two, the code just became
simpler.

With this patch, X won't even get to the point of showing an X cursor :-(
