Very Computer

I just got a #9 GXE Level 11 ISA-bus card, and so far I'm
ecstatic about it except for one thing: if I exit the X server,
the video mode isn't restored properly.  The console font appears
to be fine, but the video timing is way off and I get a badly
scrunched, distorted text-mode display.

I'm using 132x43 text mode and 1024x768, 65 MHz dot-clock
graphics.

Hi, you need the utils included with svgalib.
These come with slackware 1.2.0, basically there is a script
called runx which saves and restores  your fonts before,
and after X.  I also heard on comp.windows.x.i386 that
this problem will be fixed in XFree 2.1.1
