Thanks, but I'd already tried that. No luck; it stays in graphics mode. Like someone else said, it seems to confuse the graphics card (or some part of the kernel, because I noticed when rebooting 8-) that the kernel manages to cure it before shutdown is fully complete). It happens when I come out of full-screen XMAME under the sawfish WM; sawfish (I presume) dies; I get thrown back to gdm, and the 6 ttys are hosed. Can anyone else reproduce this? It's fully reproducable for me. Neil.
