I grabbed this from the Xfree86 website: "Textmode is not properly restored This has been reported on some configurations. Many laptops use the programmable clock of the 6554x chips at the console. It is not always possible to find out the setting that is used for this clock if BIOS has written the MClk after the VClk. Hence the server assumes a 25.175MHz clock at the console. This is correct for most modes, but can cause some problems. Usually this is fixed by switching between the LCD and CRT. Alternatively the user can use the "TextClockFreq" option described above to select a different clock for the text console. Another possible cause of this problem is if the kernel is compiled with the "APM_DISPLAY_BLANK" option. As mentioned before, this option should be disabled." I think this applies to Daniel's problem with restoring the textmode. Anyways, I will mail the Xfree86 project and ask if they know anything about this problem. /Christian
