Console driver does not preserve its state


Here is the situation:

1.From Gnome i pres Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to console
2.I load cyrillic drive - console-cyrillic - everything works fine
3. I return to GUI - Ctrl-Alt-F7
4. I return to Console - Ctrl-Alt-F1

At this moment i see garbage on the screen which is only fixed if i reload the cyrillic driver with cyr command

Is there a way to fix this situation ?

Don't go to the 1st shell. It's where the x server was launched from. Go to the 2nd shell.
Ctrl+Alt+F2

or 3rd

Ctrl+Alt+F3
