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.
