I'm not sure that it's an *dm problem; I occasionally see *exactly* this
(right down to the red-and-black stripes) when swapping vts from X to text
mode. I'm running xserver-s3v version 3.3.2.3a-11 on a Stealth 3D 2000
card, but my recollection is that I had the same problem with xserver-svga
with different hardware (but, I could be wrong; I hadn't characterized the
problem at that time). Everything stops: ssh connections are hung, inbound
pings time out, a hard reset is required. I would have logged a bug report
but I wasn't sure it wasn't hardware, or that it was the XServer.
Let me know if anything comes to light...
