ona my system some OpenGL programs after crache locks graphical display. And loks like kernel thinks that my text console ctrl+alt+f(1-6) has 1024x768x16bit resolution. In remote way i can kill graphical server. But this thing doesn't help me unlock text console. Remote way i can start X again and X works. I didn't found way how restore text console back. I trayed SVGATextMode, doesn't helps. It changes video modes but i thik it forget to change from graphical to text mode. This bad occurs on: wine, bzflag, ... I did't found on glxgear, gltron. Lock occurs on root and normal user that has DRI rights. Hardware: Velocity 100 (voodoo 3), $ cat /proc/pci | grep VGA: VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc.

1) Please press <enter> to break lines. 2) Try a vanilla kernel, as there are known problems between -ac (the gentoo-r9) kernel and DRI.
