I have discovered one other thing. If I use vidcontrol VESA_800x600 for
the console, the garbled screen does not happen when I exit X.  This
would be great if I could figure out how to get the vidcontrol VESA to
support a resolution of 1024x768.  Anyone got any pointers on this?

Thanks!

Subject: Xfree4.2.1+Nvidia+Inspiron 2650

I am having a problem with the setup in the subject upon exiting X to go
back to the console.  When I exit, I end up with a garbled FAST rolling
screen.  The only way out is a reboot, that I have been able to discover
thus far anyway.  I thought I saw something about this somewhere, but my
googling has failed me.  Some items to note:

1.) I have compiled agp support into the kernel
2.) I am running my console with the following vidcontrol settings:
         vidcontrol -f 8x8 cp437-8x8
         vidcontrol VGA_80x50
3.) TERM=cons50
4.) I recompiled the Xfree-server with the nv patches
(http://www.marcuscom.com/g2g-xfree86/article.html)

I thought the fix was to add some sort of delay when exiting X, but I
cant find any info on it.

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks!
Chris Kulish
