|Are you able to switch between the X session and text vtys by
|hitting Ctl-Alt-Fn while the X server is running?
No. When I try to switch to a console tty, my video card loses its signal.
(If I recall the monitor viewmeter correctly, the video card is thrown down
into a 2KHz horizontal, 0 Hz vertical setting -- or something along those
lines).
|You set syscons into the VESA 132x43 mode. How did you do that?
|Did you run vidcontrol by hand? Or, you run it in /etc/rc*?
/etc/rc.local:
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 -f 8x8 cp866-8x8
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 132x43
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv1 132x43
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv2 132x43
|Are all vtys set in this 132x43 mode? Or, just a single vty is set
|to this mode?
All vtys.
|Have you ever start the X server when all vtys are in the standard
|80x25 mode?
I just tried that. Quiting/suspending XFree86 3.9.15 toasted the video
clocks just the same as before with 132x43.
|Have you had the same or similar problem before with the previous versions
|of XFree86?
No. XFree86 3.3.3.1 works just fine quiting/suspending X to 80x25 or 132x43.
Thanks,
Randall
