Starting a new thread which may or may not be the same problem as the
others had with virtual terminals. On one of three machines that I
switched to xorg when I go to a virtual terminal I get a text mode
screen with various colored stripes and no readable characters. I can
tell that the VT's are actually working. I can log in but the screen is
unreadable (because of all the unwanted ANSI escape codes?). reset
doesn't help.
I am running the latest xorg packages and have done dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg
Any ideas?
It sounds more like a video driver issue that the XKB trouble we were
discussing earlier. Have you tried using a frame buffer setting
like VESA for your driver?
I guess I don't really understand how this is working. I switched the
video driver to VESA instead of s3/virge which is the correct one and
the one I used with Xfree86. This did solve the VT problem. If this is
what you me can you refer me to something to read to understand how this
works?
I still have to change the mouse protocol to ImPs/2 each time I
dpkg-reconfigure since it gets set to Imtellimouse with presenting me
the opportunity to change it to ImPS/2 during the dpkg-reconfigure. Do
I need to temporarily change the mouse to /dev/psaux instead of
/dev/gpmdata to change the protocol?
Thanks, Paul
