>Description:
On a G4 with the following display:
000:16:0: ATI Technologies Rage Fury MAXX AGP 4x (TMDS) (VGA display)
exiting the X server leaves the console in a mode incompatible
with the Samsung SyncMaster 570S TFT display I'm using with this
machine.
OFW and NetBSD can both use this display properly. The X server
is taking a bad exit path (maybe trying to put it into VGA text
mode, and getting something wrong on the way out?)
>How-To-Repeat:
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE the X server, or simply let it exit cleanly.
>Fix:
NFI
