As I said: currently there is one unconditional call to resize_screen and one conditional (depending on IS_VISIBLE). Unconditional one should not be moved around, but removed completely. Look at fbcon_resize (only con_resize user) implementation, it will do wrong things if called with non-visible currcons. I believe that James has this correct in his latest patches.
