Title:
[Feisty,Gutsy] Switching to tty yields black screen (SiliconMotion)
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
I know this is particularly old and particularly unusual hardware, but
on a Sotec e-Note 100 notebook (K6-2) with a SiliconMotion SM712
LynxEM+ video card, jumping from the X environment to any tty screen
yields a black screen.
The tty is still active, and I can type commands into the terminal,
but there is no video output. Pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 returns me to the X
environment with no visible error. Exiting X with CTRL+ALT+Backspace
yields the same dead screen, but restarting X (with startx again) will
not bring back a visible GUI.
The X environment functions normally before and after switching
between tty screens, with video colors, dimensions, depth and mouse
control all as expected.
This bug occurs on a default system in both Gutsy and Feisty, command-
line-plus-X or a full Gnome environment. Both the siliconmotion and
vesa drivers give the same results. Other distros behave normally,
with both the 1.4.1 and 1.5.1 siliconmotion drivers and other versions
of X.
There seem to be other bugs that are similar, but not with this
hardware.
