hi,

when x-server shuts down, it doesn't restore the VGA palette for
textmode correct. so when i run X once, everything gets a bit darken.
after the second session, i see black characters on a black background.

since i don't want to su and reboot "blind" or via telnet every two
sessions: is there any command to force the OS to reload the pallete
info from the adapter ROM?

in former times on DOS i used debug with a simple MOV AX,3  INT 10, but
i don't want to try this with NetBSD...

thx, Flo
