Description Paul 2005-02-21 04:41:07 UTC

After starting x (xorg-x11), any resolution change results in a corrupted screen. this includes changing to text mode eithe by exiting X, or by switching to a VT (ctrl-alt-F1)
Cycling back to the initial resolution will return a clean display.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.edit /etc/xorg.conf to use  Driver "vesa"
2.startx
3.exit X, or change resolution

Actual Results:  
Corruption of display. Display is still responsive, but appears to be unaware
that the resolution has changed.

Expected Results:  
Switched modes without corruption

SMP, 2.6.10, no USE flags defined, s3 Trio 64, xorg 6.8.0-r3

I used the vesa driver recently without issue.  This could have to do with your
hardware.

Paul, is this still a problem with any current X versions?
