- I have the .98pl5 SLS Distribution of Linux on my 386/40 MHz with 8 MB RAM
- and Trident 8900C video w/ 1 MB RAM. My problem is that when X windows
- exits, it blanks the display and never restores text mode. I read in the
- FAQ that this is a known bug.
-
- How can I restore the display after exiting X? Rebooting just isn't a
- good enough answer... ;-)
-
- Please e-mail me and I'll summarize to the group. (Too much traffic...)
- Thanks in advance!
