I've tried a few window managers (fvwm, blackbox, windowmaker), but I
didn't see any difference. It seems the STN versus TFT make the
difference, but I don't know why.

This is documented in the SVGA docs (see my last message), and it happen
when you change the video output with Fn+F5, o when resuming after
suspending.

Only in part because I need to cycle the video output, and xvidtune
don't know how to do it. I wish to run "xvidtune -next" when I resume,
but I don't know how (see another messages in this thread).
