Unfortunately, this is what we are trying to prevent. X assumes that the console is in text mode, so only registers that affect text mode are restored. Frequently, cursor registers and bitmaps, as an example, are not refreshed. There's probably more, ie accel engine, etc.
Argh.. of course, cursor and accelerator registers are usually not restored, you're right at this. But the drivers usually leave the engine in the same state as when started. (A "restore" of accelerator engine registers is mostly impossible, because a complete restore would cause the last command to be executed again) Thomas -- Thomas Winischhofer Vienna/Austria mailto:thomas@winischhofer.net *** http://www.winischhofer.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
