I have the same problem, also with an S3 ViRGE/DX card. I can produce it by stopping and starting xdm.
Running "setfont" (or is that "seT7onT"?) restores the vc console fonts, but it's probably a bug in the SVGA's server for this chipset. Perhaps it's fixed in 3.3.3... -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
