Hello,

in order to restore a usable console when XFree86 exits I started to add some cleanup stuff to ofb (mainly to reload the font after switching from bitmapped to terminal emulation mode ), but since XFree86 doesn't always clean up behind itself I'm looking for a way to tell OpenFirmware to restore the video settings - reset-screen and fb8-reset-screen apparently don't do anything, at least not on my S900 ( OF 1.0.5 ) - is there anything else to try?

have fun
Michael
