I use the 'nv' (xfree86 4.2.1) driver and after a screen blank, the bottom half of the screen is on top and vice versa. I use gdm also. I found that if I do:
kill -SIGUSR1 `pidof X` after unblanking, X fixes itself and displays properly. Is this what SIGUSR1 is supposed to do (ie reinitialize X) and can I depend on this in future versions of X. I checked the manpage for Xserver, and though it mentioned this signal, the explanation of what it did was vague. I know about using 'chvt 1 && chvt 7', but I wanted to do this from within an apm/acpi script, and this seemed to work well.
