NVIDA GeForce2: virtual terminal switching weirdness

[Joseph E. Sacco]

System
------- 
* G4 PowerMac with NVIDIA GEForce2 MX video card, 
* latest fedora/rawhide updates


Problem:

	CTL-OPT-F8 switches the video card into an unrecoverable state. 


Virtual terminal switching works: CTL-OPT-Fn [n=1,7] switches between
VT's with the desktop running on F7. Then CTL-OPT-F8 is issued the
screen goes some weird state and stays there.  Any attempt to switch
back to another terminal fails. This leads me to believe that either the
graphics card is "hung" or the X-server died.  

Can anyone verify this behavior?

-Joseph
