Is there a utility to reset the video card (so I don't have to reboot
the computer?) or some setting I need to change?
Thanks,

1. X Server messes up text mode
I'm trying to get X up and running on a laptop. It's a new
install of 1.4 i386 on a Micron Transport XPE. I have a
XF86Config which lets X come up and work but once X starts my
other virtual consoles (wscons) go blank except for the cursor.
They are still there because I can type and the cursor moves and
if I run commands (typically 'reboot' :-) they run. This
problem persists after I quit X.
I'm getting tired of rebooting every time I bring up X. Is there
some kind of program to reset the text mode video controls?
(Or even better a SVGA server that's newer than 3.3.3.1 and like
the cl-gd7555 video chip better?)
