Hi, I'm having some really annoying problems with X on my NetBSD machine.
The machine is a 533mhz Celeron, with 512MB of ram, and a Riva TNT2 Vanta
AGP video card. I am leaning towards XFree86 4.x as opposed to 3.x because
it performs far better on this machine (first tried XF86 4* in FreeBSD, but
the speed improvement argument still holds true in NetBSD).

I've built XFree86 4.1.0 from source and installed it, and as far as I can
tell, everything works wonderfully, except for an oddity with wscons. When I
start X, it comes up fine, I don't have any problems running it, but when I
exit X and go back to console, my text display is about 2/3rds dimmer than
it was before. If I go into and out of X again, I can't see console at all,
and have to reboot if I want to see anything.

I have tried XFree86 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, and now 4.1.0, and all four
versions have the same problem. This issue wasn't present in FreeBSD, so my
assumption is that it's something to do with wscons.

Can anybody offer any ideas that might help?

Thanks,

-Sean
