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...
