RE: VGA Textmode Restore Broken [Was: Re: Problems with xfree86 4.0.1d - Compac Armada 1500c (CT69000+DSTN)]

I get the dim grey/green console effect (framebuffer
console) and also some intermittent font corruption
problems in most X programs.

I'm using ThinkPad 600X which has the NeoMagic
MagicMedia256ZX [nm2360 chip] using the 'neomagic'
driver.

Both problems went away when I changed the colour depth
from 24bpp to 16bpp.

Might be worth a try ?
