 Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 4:52 pm Post subject: Terminal graphics glitch |
 |
|
I have just upgraded some machines to X11R7. Then I started having problems with the virtual terminals. I couldn't switch to them. I checked that the DontVTSwitch option was false. It was. Eventually, I found that it had this:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
I commented that out and now I can switch to the terminals.
While the terminals work, and I can log in and everything, the graphics are glitched. I can't see what I am doing. Is there an easy way to reset the console video mode? I tried setfont and stty rows cols, but neither worked.
How do I get the video mode for the console when I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 working again?
(I don't know if this belongs in the desktop section since it involves X.) |

This is the keyboard entry here
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection |
and this is /etc/conf.d/consolefont
| Code: | CONSOLEFONT="lat9v-16"
#CONSOLEFONT="default8x16" |
(unicode spoken here). No trouble in switching from X to virtual console using Alt-Ctrl-Fx.
