Hm, very encouraging -- this might be the same problem that has been bugging me (with 4.1.0-17). If I do C-A-F1 from within X, the virtual console comes up OK, but if I do A-F7 to get back into X, my (laptop LCD) screen "melts" to white. I'm not sure that the X server is crashed though, because I can type commands into the terminal window in X; e.g. "chvt 1" will flip me back to a virtual console, and C-A-Backspace will exit X. I have the same problem when waking X up from sleep -- melted white screen. I didn't used to have this problem on this machine, when it used the old svga driver under 3.x (but then the display was horribly slow). Does this sound like your problem? I also have a Trident Cyberblade in this Acer 340T. -- Thatcher Ulrich http://tulrich.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
