Running 11.0-ALPHA4-i386-20160617-r301975 vt defaults to graph mode. When switching between virtual consoles there is a 4 second hesitation. In text mode no hesitation when switching between virtual consoles. Hardware details follow.

I also confirm that bug. CAUSE: The setvideomode stuff is unnecessarily called. Highly annoying, because mode gets reset, with sync stopping, monitor blanking and taking some time to lock in its PLL again. One reason why I use sc. HOW TO FIX: When changing from one vt to another, do NOT do an unnecessary call to setvideomode BIOS function. This is ONLY necessary when switching between X and vts. Just blit the framebuffer with the contents of the newly selected VT.
