Exiting X back to console cause display corruption


I have Slackware 10.2 installed and set-up my lilo.conf with the vga= line to use 800*600*256 resolution. My question is when I start x (KDE in this example...) and exit from x, the display then becomes garbled when the vga= setting is higher than the specified setting above. Is this a resolution problem or is there something I'm missing that is not allowing me to use 800*600*32k/64k, 1024*768*256/32k/64k? By the way, KDE is using a defaultdepth of 24 and a resolution of 1024*768. I'm also using the latest NVidia driver 8174.
