-- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Dear maintainers, I am using grub-pc since 3 weeks, and discovered, that it does not switch correct to graphic mode when using nvidia-glx. It appears that way, if I switch to console by using i.e. ALT+F2, the console ios not seen, but a little white bar is seen on top. The console (shell) is existent, as I can blindly enter commands (i.e. login as root is working and commands like "/etc/init.d/kdm restart") are working well. First I thought, the entry in /etc/default/grub were false, so I tested with several resolutions: 1440x900, 1024x768x32 and 1024x768x16, but had no success. In old grub-legacy I used the addon vga=791, which worked very well. At the moment I reverted back tp grub-legacy, which is still working perfectly. Additionally I am using a netbook (EEEPC 1005HGO with an Intel I915 graphics chip), where grub-pc is working well. I suppose, there is a problem with the combination of either the Nvidia hardware + grub-pc or nvidia-glx + software. It would be nice, if someone might want to have a look at this. For me using grub-legacy is ok, but I think in the future grub-pc (grub2) will be used as standard. My system is a notebook with amd64-cpu, 2 cores, Nvidia GF8400M GS, stock kernel and the nvidia drivers are built by DKMS. Thank you for reading this bugreport. Best regards Hans-J.
