I've noticed recently that the X server doesn't seem to restore text
mode properly, if I boot using the "vga=030a" (132x43 text mode) Linux
kernel option.  This video card is a Matrox G450, with XFree86 4.1.0 on
Debian "unstable" (i386).  The symptom is that my monitor reports
"Invalid Scan Frequency" when I exit X (or use Ctl-Alt-Fx to switch to
a text console), and the display is of course unrecognizable.  I've
checked the monitor settings in XF86Config-4, and they're all correct
according to the manual.

If I swap the G450 with a G400 borrowed from another box, everything
works correctly.

Has anyone else run into this?  I've browsed the list archives and run
some Google searches, but didn't see anything which appears relevant.

Thanx!
