Oh snap! radeon with KMS. So this is interesting then. So it didn't happen when I rebooted just then. That is I now have vt7 working. Actually imho this is an xorg or gdm bug. Because I was using kvm, the new xorg (from squeeze well a slightly older version) and the same kernel --> 2.6.36 on debian lenny without this problem. So I think it may not be a kernel bug. What makes you think it is a kernel bug? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
