Hi Brice, I am sorry to disturb you more, but I have to revert back from closing the issue completely. I just noticed the virtual screens 1-6 changed to be shaded (I can not come up with a better description) while the X-window behaves as previously. The interesting part here is that when the system boots, the text is clear white text on black background, but after Xserver is started, the virtual screens go shaded. The texts are printed as expected, but they are hardly readable: it is as if a filter or curtain was drawn on to of the screen. I attach the Xorg.0.log if that gives you any clue about what is going on.
