[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#569545: nvidia-kernel: vbemode is not properly restored in tty

[zhangyan]

Package: nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 173.14.09+3+lenny1
Severity: normal
File: nvidia-kernel


Description: screen will flicker when switched to tty.
    I suspect it is because that vbemode is not restored properly.

    ( I am not sure if this is a bug of nvidia-glx or nvidia-kernel,
    please currect me if I am wrong. )

Known work-arounds:
 A)  
    Run the following command every time switching to tty from X:

vbetool vbemode set `vbetool vbemode get`

 B) 
    Download and install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.70.33-pkg1.run from nvidia
    website
