In FC5:

- some time ago (not tested recently):  with Intel video + open source driver,  if i set color depth to 24 bits, have the same issue.
- recently:  with Nvidia video + Nvidia 9xxx beta propietary driver if i set color depth to 24 bits, have the same issue

Hope that helps.

Manually hacking up the modelines in the Xorg.conf gave me a better
resolution, and it's usable - but now I have a problem where if I
Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 to the virtual terminals, they switch fine, but
on switching back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 I get into a hosed text mode that I
can't get out of.

Is anyone else testing this package?  Is it just my system that's hosed?
