Are there still problems with the nv driver not restoring
fonts and/or colormap after a screen switch?
There was a fix in nv_driver.c rev. 1.3 (end of may) which
should make sure that the fonts are saved/restored properly.

If the screen is still black, it might be a colormap issue.
There is a piece of code in the driver which looks dangerous
to me. I don't see any problem with a Geforce2 MX. If anyone
feels affected, could he please try the appended patch?

best regards
Matthias
