Although your suggestions were not the exact solution, they brought me on the right track:
I wanted to run setcrtmode, but it terminated with something like "cannot open /dev/gs".
Thats why I created /dev/ps2* special-files in the compressed image, and voila! everything works.
So SPS2UScreenInit(0) needs the special-files, but blacks up the screen if it cannot find them.
(the strange thing is that the monitor does not seem to have lost the SOG-Signal: it seems that the right crtmode is kept, but the framebuffer is blacked and never reset)
Quick note to your other suggestions:
I compiled the kernel without hdd-support, so I only was able to write back to memcard (with the right kernel modules)
I could not start "reset", because it needs libncursed and I did not have enough space left on the image.
The tty-change did not help. Anyway there was no getty running on the other ttys.
Thanks for your help hikey.
Now I can play lesschess from memorycard *grin*
