Description of problem:
I'm using Redhat 9, every time I switch between the terminal and the graphical 
screen and back, my terminal screen will use other characters instead of the 
character it used to use. I have this problem with my own version of a cash 
register program, but I'm having olso the sam problem with Midnight commander. 
I'm using a mainboard with the intel 845i chipset and the onboard video adapter.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.log in graphically
2.switch to terminal
3.log in and start up midnight commander
4.switch back to graphical
5.switch back to terminal and the character have changed
    

Actual Results:  the characters are disorted and have changed

Attach your X server log and config file.  It sounds like perhaps the video
driver isn't saving and restoring the video hardware properly on VT switches.

You may also want to report this bug upstream at http://bugs.xfree86.org for
potentially faster resolution.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-09-29 22:35:47 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major
updates to the X Window System, which may resolve this issue.  We
encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Fedora Core
(http://fedora.redhat.com).

If this issue turns out to still be reproduceable in the latest
version of Fedora Core, please file a bug report in the X.Org
bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component.

Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new
bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the
centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes
that become available for consideration in future updates.
