It must have missed sending some crucial reset instruction - which the reawaken via Fn key sends. > Has anyone any clue as to why this happens and how this can be corrected? I have never seen an Aristo but a dif't model that had X vs. Text problems was "cured" when I switched to a framebuffer kernel. The textmode framebuffer handled the restes and it all looked very nice after that. Prettier font too. > Oh, and I had to add NoAccel option into the config file.
