No, seems OK with me to switch to a different vt, a few comments
however. I seems that switch_console is very similar to splashy_chvt,
except that switch_console store the old vt number. I don't see any
code however to switch back to this vt.

I'll try to find some time to look a bit deeper into this issue. I
vaguely remember some options in directfb. Don't commit this just yet. 
Unless you're very confident it fixes our issues of course;)
