lizards screws up my graphic mode?

Well  I'm  not  much  of  a  gamer, but I was curious about lizards so I
tried  to  start  it and it check it out. Apart from messing up my video
mode  it  does  nothing.  I  can switch to X and all is well. But when I
return  to  any VC, the text mode is not restored. Instead my screen has
all  kinds  of  colorful junk on it. Only a reboot helps. The game is on
slackware  dec96  CD  which  installs  linux  2.0.0. I'm running 2.0.29,
TGUI9440  video  adapter,  svgalib1.2.10.  Anyone  who  has  a  familiar
experience?

Same trouble here...

Trident TGUI9680 ( detected by XSVGA server as TGUI9660xgi, but chip on
card is marked as TGUI9680), under SVGAlib, or after exiting Xwindows
when using a bit/pixel greater than 8.

Anybody know of a cure? Is it a Trident TGUI problem?

1. Mode gets screwed up going back to text mode

I'm using Xfree 2.0 with the Mach32 driver.  I have problems switching from
the X session to the text session (via the ALT-Fx keys).  It works sometimes,
but typically after I log out of an X session, the screen blinks back to what
looks like text mode and the back to the login screen.  That's not that
annoying, but when I switch to one of the consoles (ALT-F1 for example),
I seem to be stuck in a wierd graphics mode, but I can see little blocks
move around.  I'm assuming that those blocks are the text, but the card
is not reset.  Is there a patch or something I have to change to make
the card go to text mode when it is supposed to?  I don't have the Xconfig
file handy, but I just used the standard VESA timings and the suggested
clocks in the modeDB.txt file.  Other than this problem, X works wonderfully.
