James,

Thanks for your reply. Is the problem in fbcon or is it
something I could fix in my framebuffer driver?

You need a driver that supports going back to vga text mode.
Unfortunely 
very few drivers support that. At present we can't go back.

or IOW how does one undo con2fb and put the console back to
vga to unload a framebuffer module. Thanks.
