Only a reboot resets it. >How-To-Repeat: Run snes9x with the -y switch (you have to be root or have snes9x setuid for this to work, since it wants /dev/mem), then switch to fullscreen mode with PrtSc, try to switch to console 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1), then quit snes9x and try again -- it'll refuse to work. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
