ESC from a fractal in the 640x480 mode works, but ESC from the <X> screen (and some other screens) gives a screen full of blue happy faces. Another escape gives the main menu.
What happened was that Fractint did not enter the graphics mode. When I do this with F3 (320x200) I don't have any problem.
I'm afraid that what is happening is that our video cards are treating the switch to and from video modes differently. That is to say that mine doesn't change the values in vesa_xres and vesa_yres, and yours does. I don't see a way around this, but video isn't my strong suit. Not that I have a strong suit, I just really hate mucking with video. Every time we do a video switch, the contents of the VESA buffer can change. Therefore, we need to save the vesa_xres and vesa_yres values elsewhere while we are in a text mode. I'll try it. Jonathan
