This happens on etch, which I try to keep up-to-date. sarge is, as usual, pefectly stable, quite boring, and very useful.
I'm using gdm as my login manager. I have six virtual consoles configured. Graphics is an AIT-Raden-all-in-wonder 8500 card. RAM is 1G. CPU is an athlon. a few months ago, I started experiencing this problem. Sometimes, when changing virtual consoles with ctrl-alt-f*, instead of getting to the other console I got a black screen, and whatever subsystem that responds to ctl-alt-f* seemed to go deaf. Usually it still responds in some way to the keyboard, by echoing tha characters typed onto the screen. Even control-alt-delete is nicely echoed. Is this a known problem? Is there a known fix? It isn't mission-critical, but I sure would like it fixed before etch goes stable. My workaround is to run sarge instead. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
