- Well I gave up on my ATI Wonder card and went out and bought a Trident
- card (tvga8900C, 1Mbyte). When I run X386 it works well, unfortunately ...
- when I exit from X back to regular terminal mode I get black text on a
- black background. I can't see any text. If I do an "ls" the disk makes
- a noise but I don't see the results. Is there a program to reset the
- video text mode to white on black text?
-
- This problem is mentioned in the FAQ as a bug but I couldn't find a
- workaround.
-
- Thanks in advance.
