I have in my system a S3/Virge card.  About once a month, something bites
the X server, causing it to coredump and leaves the console unreadable.
(Unless I log in from another system and restart the server, but things
don't come up quite right, then.)

Is there any way of resetting the graphics, short of rebooting the system?

Thanks,
~Steve
