I'm using potato with the /dev/3dfx - Mesa combo for 3D. When I run a GL screen hack like gears or morph3d, it runs accelerated and looks nice. The problem is that when I exit them, the display in X is completely whacked; I can't do anything. So far, I've just been Alt-F1'ing back to a console and hitting Ctrl-C to kill the X server. This activity is confined to xscreensaver running them. When I run them from the command line with no options, I don't get the corrupted display, only when I run them with '- root', as xscreensaver does.
Does anyone know why this happens, how to prevent it, or at least if there is a way to reset the X display without restarting the server? -Rob
