Hi David,

it's a known problem that Linux cannot restore the text mode after
something bad happens in graphics mode. SVGALIB provides a means to
overcome this, though. Run 'savetextmode' before starting Arachne, and
'restoretextmode' if it fails to restore the screen mode. I have set
up DOSLinux to automatically run savetextmode during start-up, and
written a little script called 'tm' that calls restoretextmode so I
can quickly type it when I need it.

Regards,

Udo
