don't flip between consoles when X is loaded. this is always a bad idea. some video hardware flips out and will lock up. Other video hardware may behave better. I've seen this on X for at least 5 years on different X servers/drivers on linux. as far as I know, most commercial X servers (IRIX, AIX, HPUX, Solaris) do not allow switching either, at least I've never figured out how to switch on those systems. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
