Hi,

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but:

Recently I upgraded my FreeBSD 1.5.1. (!) & Xfree86 2 to
FBSD 2.1.0/Xfree 3.12, all works fine except the X server
which refuses to properly switch back to text mode, when killed,
or when consoles are changed (ctrl-alt-Fn). 
When the consoles are switched the screen becomes blank,
but the keyboard reacts ok.

The vcard is quite standard Trident 8900cl, it worked find with XF 2.

This is a quite nasty behaviour, since I have to reboot
each time i exit X. 

Apart from this I find FreeBSD 2 a great OS, good work ! :-)
