People have been saying that 5.0-CURRENT problems belong here. I don't know if this is Gnome2 or Xfree86...
I noticed tonight that the Gnome2 desktop terminal stopped working.
When I open a terminal window, I do not get a command prompt. I have a flashing solid block cursor in the top left corner of the window.
I tried various key combinations and nothing seems to get its attention.
If I file/close or hit the "X" in the top right corner, I get kicked out to the command prompt, where I entered startx, or to the GDM2 signon screen. I'm reading this as an X server crash. I'm seeing some dumps for "Interfearance" but I do not think that is related. Nothing else appears to be broken at this point.
The X logs are inconclusive. However, I'll include one that hints at a failure. "Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_SETMODE VT_PROCESS failed" I've had this happen to root and to my non uid0 personal account. Any ideas folks?
