I have a problem with X windows when i shut down X, my terminal goes nutty,
and the display shows funky letter combinations and symbols. I type reset and
it does nothing.
I'm running slackware kernel 2.0.29 w/ x3.1.1 and an Avance Logic 2228 isa card
w/ 1 meg of ram.
any help would be appreciated

Do you start X-windows with startx or runx? In the last case I had theQuote:> I have a problem with X windows when i shut down X, my terminal goes nutty,

1. SVGATextMode (1.4) usage after exiting X a bit screwy
I finally got SVGATextMode compiled an running on my system. I've
been able to get readable screens for all the textmodes on the
startup menu.
They all work well, until I start (and later, leave) X. When I
drop back down to a VC, if I try to change textmodes, I get a
screen that rolls (like the vertical hold on a TV is messed up),
with what looks like a bunch miniature tilings of the text screen.
I can use SVGATextMode to switch back to the screen that I started
X with (usually 80x43 for me). But switching to anything else does
this -- even 80x25.
System info: P5-100 ; 16M ram + 16M swap ; Linux 2.1.13 ; libc 5.4.13 ;
ld.so 1.8.5 ; SVGATextMode 1.4 ; Xfree86 3.2 ; Diamond Viper PCI
(Weitek P9000) using P9000 accelerated server
Well known and insurmountable problem, or is there some sort of
workaround? Has anyone even seen anything like this?
