You have my sympathies - it's humiliating to have to resort to
that sort of voodoo.  FYI, you may be able to automate it thus:

   x=3; while [ $x -gt 0 ]; do chvt 1; sleep 3; chvt 7; sleep 6; let x--; done

...modifying the sleep values to suit your system's needs, giving
things like your graphics HW a chance to settle between mode changes.
