Tried, but doesn't work.

With sc:

text (normal) -> X (works) -> black

or

text (normal) -> X (throws error) -> black

With vt:

text (boots normal, but then too small) -> X (works) -> text (too small)

or

text (boots normal and stays that way) -> X (works) -> text (now too small)



Reverting to sc is _not_ an option. I assume it will be removed
from the system at some point in the future, that's why dealing
with vt and configuring it is probably the right way to go.
