fixing a messed up console

how would i restore a console after it's been messed up by a buggy svgalib
program?

for example.. snes9x doesn't restore the mode properly when it exits. i'm left
with some unreadable text mode.

i've tried to use SVGATextMode to restore the original mode. it seems to
restore the mode right, but the font is garbage. and setfont has no effect.

i vaguely remember two programs from slackware 3.0: setvgaregs and getvgaregs.
i can't seem to find those anywhere, wether or not i remember their names
correctly.
