I already posted this in a different message, so if you've already read it, I apologize. I have determined a little more though... Here's the original message:
******** I've recompiled the kernel again. Why ?? ;-) The console has started getting flakey... no characters +show up when I type. Or the characters that do show up are missing "pixels" in the horizontal plane +(hard to describe) and they're also about 1/4 the size of my monitor !! I did enable framebuffer for +my Matrox card, but this has worked fine with 2.2.17 and .18. This time though, I enabled some +additional fonts. Have to assume that's the problem, so I've removed them and will try again. Is this +a known problem ... anyone ?? ******** I do know how to fix it, but it's less than ideal ;-) How ?? Exit X. When I have the xdm login screen "open", the console behaves properly. Any ideas ?? Here's some versions of what I'm running: Package: xfree86-common Version: 4.0.2-1 GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu) Package: console-tools Version: 1:0.2.3-14 Kernel: 2.4.0 (upgrading to this is when the problem started...) Any other relevant packages ?? They're all from debs, via apt-get, except the kernel. Thanks in advance Hall Stevenson
