Date: Wed, 19 Jun 1996 19:13:37 GMT Organization: AltNet - Affordable Usenet Access - http://www.alt.net Lines: 13 Message-ID: <4q98v3$mr8@tofu.alt.net> X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I have a Avance Logic 2301 video card. Whenever I exit X windows, the text mode is restored, but the text is all scrambled. It seems that the characters that I type in are translated into something else on the screen. Spaces appear as @ . I tried using vidcontrol to change the mode to 80x25 vga and 80x25 ega. The video mode will change, but the charecters still are scrambled. The same thing happens when you change fonts. Anyone know how to cure this problem? -- Eric
