This may be old hat to most of you. However ....

I run SuSE 6.4. My video card in Trident 3D Image 9850. I wanted the text
console to run under frame buffer. When I give the vga=791 argument at boot,
I get a nice console. But when I try to run X with startx, the screen goes
wonky with nothing being legible. Everything gets smeared horizontally.

SuSE has a 'runx' script which saves the SVGATextMode, invokes 'startx' and
restores the SVGATextMode. Using this solved the problem for me.
