Actually, I'm running an SiS6326 8 meg video card under mdk 7.1 on a P233 and I have no problems switching between X and console. I do it quite often actually. Though this same card under mdk 7.2 caused problems where in X my mouse was represented by a large white block, regardless of what I did with the X display options that box was always there in place of a mouse cursor. This only occurs in 7.2 though, 7.1 has no problems at all, maybe an XFree86 4.0.1 problem? At any rate, I just use the 233 for testing different things so I don't have to screw with my good linux machine. But it would be nice to have an updated version of mdk7.2 running smoothly on it.
