Hi all, Debian runs smoothly as long as I use X. The system boots fine, I land at the prompt, enter 'startx' when I feel the need to do so. When I want to switch back, however, from X to console, my monitor blanks, reporting it's "out of range".
Indeed, the refreshing rates it then mentions are too high for it to handle. It's quite frustrating, however. I am bound to using X all the time, since I can't freely switch from X to console and back: when I make the switch, there's no other option than to reboot, although my X-configfile specifies refreshing rates that are more than safe to use. I am more of a newbie, but I guess it must have something to do with framebufferdevices and the like. Could anyone please shed a light on this? Google yielded no results worthy to be mentioned, and the framebuffer-howto wasn't all that helpful either... I posted my question to the list once before, but can't quite seem to find it back in the archives. I use sid's XFree86, and installed the Nvidia-drivers for kernel 2.4.20, correctly, as it seems...
