Hi,

I've got three X servers running on three virtual terminals on my local
machine:  One for Gnome, one for KDE, and one connected to my server
using XDMCP.  I've got an nVidia GeForce3.  All three are running at the
same resolution: 1600x1200x24.

I can switch between the virtual terminals using Ctrl-Alt-F7,
Ctrl-Alt-F8, and Ctrl-Alt-F9 just fine, but doing so causes an
unnecessary double mode switch each time and causes my monitor to make
scary noises (ok, not really scary, but monitors shouldn't make noises.
:) )

I can't use Greg Ward's solution to this problem because I can't get the
VESA framebuffer driver to enter 1600x1200x24 and there doesn't seem to
be an nVidia framebuffer kernel driver analogous to matroxfb.

How can I switch between the X servers without them changing the video
mode?  I'm willing to hack code to make this work if someone can point
me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Josh
