There are a lot of possibilities unfortunately. I know 2.6.30 brought some real changes in the way the kernel handles video, and there was some talk of yet again reorganising how the virtual consoles work, and in particular moving the console X runs on. I have no idea whether this actually happened, but I recall getting this sinking feeling as I wondered whether it would break conspy. If this is what happened everything is working as it should. One way to test this would be to manually create /dev/vcsa1 and see it it works. The next step is to look under /sys/class/vc. If vcas1 is there then it is probably a udev bug. If not it is probably a kernel bug. Sorry I can't be of more help. I have a NVidia and the nv driver is unusable, so I won't be running 2.6.30 until a new nvidia driver is release. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
