Hi! It is a minor problem, because I very seldom use the console, but then it is annoying. When I switch from X to console via Ctrl-Alt-F1 I cannot switch back with Ctrl-Alt-F7. Hitting C-A-F7 the screen remains black an the Keyboard is dead. It is only possible to log in remotely and kill the xserver.
With top I found out, that when I switch to console my X-server in the background runs amok, using 99% of the CPU. I have no other problem with X on my machine. Does anyone encountered the same problem? On a mixed slink/potato system I am running: xdm 3.3.3.1-3.1 X display manager xserver-i128 3.3.3.1-3.1 X server for Number Nine Imagine 128 xbase-clients 3.3.3.1-3.1 miscellaneous X clients xcontrib 3.3.2-3 XFree contributed clients. xf86setup 3.3.3.1-3.1 X server configuration tools xfonts-100dpi 3.3.2.3a-11 100 dpi fonts for X servers xfonts-75dpi 3.3.2.3a-11 75 dpi fonts for X servers xfonts-base 3.3.2.3a-11 standard fonts for X servers xfonts-pex 3.3.2.3a-11 fonts for minimal PEX support in X servers xfonts-scalabl 3.3.2.3a-11 scalable fonts for X servers xfree86-common 3.3.3.1-3.1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure xfs 3.3.3.1-3.1 X font server xfstt 0.9.10-6 TrueType Font Server for X11 Linux jobs 2.0.36 #1 Mon Jan 24 13:30:09 CET 2000 i586 unknown My XF86Config: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Primary Monitor" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 31.5-82.0 VertRefresh 50-150 Modeline "1152x864" 135.00 1152 1464 1592 1776 864 864 876 908 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Primary Card" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "None" Chipset "i128" Option "power_saver" VideoRam 4096 EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "Accel" Device "Primary Card" Monitor "Primary Monitor" DefaultColorDepth 16 BlankTime 0 SuspendTime 0 OffTime 0 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "SVGA" Device "Primary Card" Monitor "Primary Monitor" DefaultColorDepth 16 BlankTime 0 SuspendTime 0 OffTime 0 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "VGA16" Device "Primary Card" Monitor "Primary Monitor" BlankTime 0 SuspendTime 0 OffTime 0 SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "VGA2" Device "Primary Card" Monitor "Primary Monitor" BlankTime 0 SuspendTime 0 OffTime 0 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection -- http://hasecke.com/ BUSINESS COMMUNICATION Jan Ulrich Hasecke * Ihr F r e e l a n c e r Text * Konzeption * Werbung * PR * Internet Telefon: 0212-2331483 / Telefax: 0212-2331484
