XFree86 will not properly restore the video mode when switching to text console, it was a known bug. I have the same card, and found that if I use the console frame buffer at the same resolution then the X server, I don't get these blank screens. I use 1280x1024, which can be set if you use vga=794 in /etc/lilo.conf. (Note: remove the append="vga=..." in that file and use plain vga=...). Now, I'm not sure if setting the same resolution is waht works, or using MATROX's drivers or upgrading XFree86, I did all of the above. I'd suggest you to update to XFree86 4.1.0, too. AND READ THE README FILE IN THE FTP SITE. -- Rafael
