I run RH 4.0 on a Thinkpad 365 ED with a C&T 65545 chip.
After I had installed MetroX, I found that X ran faster than
it did with the SVGA-server,
*******************************BUT*******************************
when I jump to another console, or quit X, the screen is garbled,
almost black, with distorted, shrunken textlines glimmering
underneath the other text ... this is the best impression i can give
Does anybody know what to do about it?
thanks in advance,

1. MetroX on RH Linux v4. problem when quitting
Hi all,
I am running Red Hat Linux V4.0 out of the box (kernel 2.0.18) with the
MetroX server on an Pentium PC and ET4000w32 display adaptor.
The problem is, when I quit a window manager (currently fvwm95), my screen
resolution changes to something like (at a guess (400x300) and flickers
like crazy. It is impossible to use like this, however the system is fully
functional (except starting X again, at which point it crashes).
/var/log/Xerrors doesn't show any problem (it calls all the vga routines to
restore the display back to normal)
I am trying to use a 800x600x256 screen, however a 640x400x256 still causes
the same problem.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Help would be muchly appreciated.
