- I am having problems returning to text mode from X11R5. I have built the
- binaries, and everything works, but when I exit, I reset the vga card to
- a text mode, but the timings are all off.
-
- I am running X11R5 patch level 12 on a mach/486 33 machine. I have an
- Optima Mega ET4000 card with 1 meg of memory. The monitor that I am using
- is an IBM 8514.
-
- When I return to text, I can see about 20 prompts all flashing. Has anyone
- had this problem with either the card, the monitor or both.
-
- Alternatively, does anyone know the outb's that I would need to issue to a
- ET4000 chip to totally reset it to boot state?
