After looking at a suggestion made for bug #455954, I installed the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/
namely 2.6.34-999-generic. With that running, I can switch in and out of text consoles with ctrl-alt-F1 etc. (However the system complains about library dependencies while booting, so I suspect this kernel isn't safe to use). -- [K8M800] Lucid 10.04 live-CD login failure, Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps, ttyN screens don't work, on Averatec 3280 running Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
