[SDL] fbcon, linux-2.4.18

[Jamie Mazer]

Hi -

I've recently been trying to get my SDL/pygame app
that's worked great with the dga/x11 drivers under linux
for years working on the linux framebuffer device (/dev/fb).

Generally things seem to work, until I exit my app and
then the framebuffer gets left in a wedged state that
required reboot to correct, even though all the pygame
and SDL close routines are getting called.

Anyone else seen this?  Anyone know how to hard reset
a video card under the linux framebuffer?  It's almost
impossible to debug, since I have reboot the machine each
time :-(

Thanks
/jamie
