-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I posted this earlier to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list and didn't seem to get any responces. Perhaps some of you might know the answer? I have searched for this on google (web/groups) and in the FreeBSD Mailing list archives. There seems to be no such answer or even a similar problem. - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 11:32:15 -0600 (CST) From: Shane Kinney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: vidcontrol(1) FreeBSD 5.0 on Laptop I just encountered a very strange problem with my notebook thats running 5.0-RELEASE and XFree86. Normally the regular color of the plain VT is a black background with a white forground. I have been running XFree86 on the laptop for about a month now. Every now and then when I close the laptop lid while XFree86 is still running, when I re-open the lid the screen is black and in some kinda suspend mode. The only reason I tell you this, is because I have been running FreeBSD on this laptop for 2.5 years without X and its never had a problem, now all of a sudden the vitrual terminal (not xterm) colors are outta wack. On a side-note, XFree86 still works just as good as it did before this all happened. Anyway, I was meaning to disable the suspend feature in the BIOS. But the last time it went into the suspend, I rebooted the box, and when it started back up the background of the VT is blue and the forground is black. I did do this command: `vidcontrol white black`, and it stays with the blue background and the black forground. I also did a `vidcontrol show`, and the output for that is also incorrect. It's almost as if XFree86 somehow munged the original values for vidcontrol are set to. Do any of you know where these values might be held? Or has anyone seen something like this before? Does any one know how to fix this? Thanks a ton for any help. ~Shane Kinney "Build Ramps, Not Bombs." pgp key: http://www.freebsdhackers.net/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+djgUIyUr/yoGQnYRAgw0AJ9ktyVOUzYFc1RJzp2SAYwrVphrcwCbBVAy N+S7tPc6jQ4AfxZQIvf+fQ8= =9VTE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
