Is there in F18 a successor to Vbetool? Its usefulness went far beyond setting the video at boot time.
In sevaerl occassions I hacve had to kill X but this leaves the video card in a bad state and I can no longer have a text display until I reboot.
In F17 vbetool could be used for resetting the video card to a sane state. Now I am forced to reboot.
Unless there is a better successor vbetool should be reintroduced in Fedora.
hello jean.

this is true.
if nothing else is submitted, get codes from oem of card.
put reset sequence in a file, then a shell script file with;
cat "reset-sequence-fn" > /dev/vga
never know.
