Screen stays black after game exit using fb gfx

I've been attempting to migrate away from svgalib to framebuffer
graphics for some time now, but I've been having a lot of difficulty. 
I've tried several different distributions, and had a variety of
problems.  But the one problem that I can't seem to solve is this.

I can successfully run any single game after booting the machine, but
after I exit, the screen goes blank and I am unable to start another
game.  If I hit F2 I get another console, and then F1 gets me back to
the original shell, however, if I try to launch a game again, I just
get a blank black screen.

I'm running advmame 0.88.0, using an nvidia gforce 4mx video card with
the rivafb module loaded.  suse with 2.6.5-7.111 kernel.  I've had the
same problem with a few other 2.6.x kernels.  I attempted to use a
2.4.x kernel but was unsuccessful in getting the rivafb module to
load.

I'd be greatful for any suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks,
Chris
