Two things come to mind. If you've changed your runlevels to login at 4 or 5, you may have to modify inittab to allow virtual consoles in runlevels 4 and 5. Change lines of this form: 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 To this form: 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 Also, if you're using the agpgart module, that could be the cause of the trouble. None of the systems I have that use Radeon 7500's can reliably use agpgart. One system allows a single return to console mode and back to X, a 2nd trip to the console will crash everything. The other systems are even less tolerant. HTH, Warren -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
