When I exit X (BSDI's version of X386), the screen doesn't reset properly. I get thin, green vertical bars across the screen, and a blinking cursor. Everything works fine at this point -- the cursor moves, and I can type commands, but no text is displayed. I can restart X okay too. Rebooting the machine (which presumably resets the video card) does restore text mode. Has anyone seen this behavior or know how to correct it? Thanks. Steve mccanne@ee.lbl.gov
