I've never had that problem when shutting down X11, but I have had the garbled text before. Typing "reset" always fixed the garbled text for me. On 25 Mar, TEX wrote:
I have the same problem. I have not shut down though. No matter how garbled the text, I just type startx and enter and away it goes, but It is real ugly. Can someone help?

I am running SuSE Linux 5.1 on a machine with a 486DX4-100 processor, 36 Mb RAM and use a Tseng Labs ET4000W32p_revd accel card. X-Win(fvwm2) appears to run normally. Then I run Netscape (successfully).
When I shut down X-Win, fonts in the command mode are all trashed and I must reboot if I am to continue using the machine, even though I am able to shutdown normally using the three finger salute.
I did add Option "xaa_no_color_exp" under the Device section of XF86Config and I do use XSuSE_Tseng with the appropriate X link.
Anyone out there with a similar experience that was able to correct it?
