I don't know about "Asm wiz"es, but svgalib includes three programs for restoring a textmode: restoretextmode - depends on svgalib support of the video card, and requires prior saving of textmode mode3 - uses vesa command 4f02 to set mode. vga_reset - calls vga bios reset routine at c000:0003 -- Matan Ziv-Av.
