Public bug reported:
For 8.04 Hardy Beta Server (version current for 17-Apr-2008) changing
console (ctrl-alt 1, ctrl-alt 2, etc.) causes the text to disappear
resulting in a blank screen (except for the cursor). Changing back to
the original console does not cure the problem. Typing on the keyboard
will cause the cursor to move about the screen (in large increments),
but no text is visible.
The console may possibly not be accepting input when this occurs.
Attempting to do a log-in and shutdown (by typing in the correct key
sequence) did not work (several attempts were made).
This was found while editing a config file with nano. When I switched
back to the console which had nano, the portions of the screen which are
in reverse video to display the menu options were visible, but only as
white blocks on a black background, and with no visible text. (Nano is
mentioned to assist in the description of the problem. This is not being
reported as a nano problem).
This occurred while testing installation of Hardy. The hardware is a Via
Epia Mini-ITX PD6000E.
