HUGE console fonts when exiting X

I've got one machine that has been giving me trouble after I exit X.  I'm running icewm, love it.  When I exit out to the console, I get this font that is about an inch high.  Clear doesn't clear the screen, the screen does not scroll.  The only thing I've found to fix it is a reboot.  Not sure where to look to find the source of this.  Before I go into X, everything is fine.

Re: HUGE console fonts when exiting X

It's an Nvidia G72 (GeForce 7300LE).  From the Xorg log, nv is the autoconfigured driver 1 and vesa as driver 2.

It looks like what is happening is that when I log out of icewm, X is still running and controlling the display.  Not sure yet.
