	Login normally - everything OK. 
	startx - works OK
	exit - back to command line - cursor moves when characters are typed
	and when machine responds - but no characters actually appear.
	Only solution is to reboot!

	No! This doesn't fix the problem. It also mutilates the cursor under
X.

	The card in question is a Cirrus Logic GD-5428 with 1024 Kbytes (as
	revealed by SuperProbe).  I have tried reducing screen resolution
and/or
	reducing specified memory, etc. - no effect.

	I have never had these problems with Trio S3 cards (and I didn't use
	'wscons=YES' for them).

	Thanks for your suggestions anyhow - and I look forward to receiving
	more ..    G.
