No, this doesn't work - it panics, too.

If it did, it would be a workaround ... although I had something like 
auto-logon for the various X-servers and different users.


Currently I have to logoff the current user, and login as another - which is 
*much* worse than just hitting CTRL-ALT-Fx (or using the "switch user" 
button).

Well, that would defeat the idea of putting a dedicated 3D graphics card into 
the machine - I wanted to get a few more fps.

BTW, I got a panic on alien-arena, too - when it tried to switch the video 
mode on startup.
