XFree86 3.3.3.1, SVGA server, Matrox G200 AGP with 8MB
snes9x 1.19 (from ports)
>Description:
When I use snes9x in its fullscreen mode (which uses XFree86 DGA and
VME), and try to switch from X to the console while fullscreen is 
enabled, syscons completely locks up -- I can't switch back to the 
console even after quitting snes9x and restarting X. 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.
