This isn't really redhat specific, so to speak. But I'll
ask. Every now an then, I'll do something that won't work
and switches from text mode to a video mode, but I manage
to get back to a regular console prompt, except, I'm in VGA
mode, so I cannot see anything I type or do. IS there anything
in linux that will toggle from video mode to text mode much
like mode co80 and such does under dos? In case I get stuck in
VGA mode and don't want to reboot to get text mode back on the
linux console??
