Description Renata Lane 2003-05-25 10:30:40 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:          Linux

After logging out of any session, X server is being resetted and that may leave framebuffer console in unusable state
I have XFree 4.3.0 / linux kernel 2.4.20 , console is using 800x600x16bit mode, X11 1152x864x16bit+DRI on Voodoo3
problem seem to appear with any kdm configuration
(TerminateServer=true/false , any OpenDelay tunes)
Possible solution: can kdm just terminate X server without resetting it? (optional?)

yes this should be sufficient.
i've applied the patch, with "TerminateServer=true" works fine,
i wonder if someone else experienced this problem.
