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. -- Rafael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
