I had a similar problem with the truecolor video modes in Allegro, where some cards would get stuck in this mode and be unable to return to the 80x25 textmode. I was able to work around this by briefly selecting the VESA mode 0x101 (640x480x256) during the shutdown process, which seems to reset whatever registers the truecolor modes had changed so I can then go back to textmode without any problems. I don't know how this would apply to Rhide, but it sounds like it could be a similar problem (I saw this trouble on Matrox cards, too). I assume you are using some of the extended VESA text resolutions, so you might want to try closing it down via some other temp mode (but what? maybe 13h?) to reset the card... Shawn Hargreaves.
