I am having a problem returning to text mode after exiting XFree86. Upon
exiting X, text mode begins, but the screen is full of white and black pixels.
I can see a difference in the pixels where the text should be. This only
happens after exiting X if I am using X in 16 bit mode. Everything works ok
when I use X in 8 bit mode (24 bit mode for my graphics card is not supported
by XFree86). Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong? I was
unable to find anything that seemed to be related in the XFree86 FAQs and
documentation.
Here's my configuration:
Trident 9680 2MB graphics card
XFree86 3.2 (taken from the RedHat devel directory)
XFree86 SVGA driver from XFree86 3.2
XFree86 3.1.2 Fonts
Window Manager: The Next Level (i.e., fvwm2)
Thanks.
Todd
