There have been reports of various terminal problems after starting XF4
in -current/2.9-beta.  This is the only response I've seen so far that
isn't a "Me too", and this is a "I don't see that here".  Is this being
looked at a all?

Some things that may or may not be related to the problem:
1) My terminals are fine when I run xf86cfg.  If I start X any other way, 
terminals are extermely dark.  This seems odd, since xf86cfg starts X.
Perhaps something in the way X is started?  Could others who are having
similar problems see what happens starting xf86cfg from a good terminal?

2) After a cold boot, when X starts, I see neon fuzz for a split second,
Then X is all good.  When I reboot from an xterm, as X is starting, I see
my window manager as it was then I typed 'sudo reboot', for a split second,
the X is all good.  I don't remember this with 3.3.6.
