    I think he's referrig to the matrox cards. I have mentioned this
    happening to me in this list. I've a G450, if I use anything other than
    'normal', going in and out of X makes my text console go blank. I don't
    use the frame buffer, by the way.

    If the problem occurs whithout the frame buffer on, the problem seems to
    be on the X server.
