Hallo

I've installed the FC4 Test 1 on a System with a Matrox G550. The start 
of the XServer causes the unusability of the text consoles. It seems 
that the xorg G550 driver reconfigures the Graphics card on a low level 
so even when the X is terminated (in runlevel 3) the text consoles 
remains unusable. Does anybody have an idea of this behavior?
I've installed the same distribution on a machine with a ATI card with a 
normal behavior when switching to text consoles or stoping the X (in 
runlevel 3). Has there been some major changes in the xorg Matrox driver?
