An 'echo foo > /dev/tty42' while X runs will screw the color palette, if
tty42 wasnt in use before. Tested on ibook G3 and G4.
This will happen with rage128 and radeonfb in 2.6.5 and later,
X version is 4.3.99.
X runs usually with a different color depth than the kernel framebuffer
console.
How can this be fixed? tty open should not touch the hardware if the tty
is not active.

I tried the above and nothing happens to X. My setup is X86 nVidia AGP
on rivafb linux-2.6.8-rc4-mm1.
There are a bunch of framebuffer patches in rc4-mm1, perhaps those will
help. Otherwise, it's probably a driver or arch specific problem.

Do you have 'Option "usefbdev" "true"' in our XF86Config?

No. I tried that option before but it produces a segfault.
