goldenratiophi Member Registered: Dec 2004 Posts: 34 Rep:	Bad transition from X to console mode I'm running Gentoo Linux 2004.3. When I exit Fluxbox via Menu->fluxbox menu->Exit (or any other method for exiting the x server for that matter), the text in console mode appears huge and unreadable as if the resolution is screwed up (about 3 lines of text are shown on the screen and they are so huge that they are almost unreadable). Can anyone help?
