 |
|
Hi all,
I just finished with a gentoo install on my laptop. I emerged kde3.5 and xfce4. Both run fine.
The problem appears when switching between consoles.
From GUI, I enter CTRL+ALT+F1 .... F6 .......... I can get into all consoles
But when I enter CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to GUI, my machine halts and I have to do a hard reboot.
I tried some search queries but could not figure out 'what exactly' to search.
regards

What driver are you using for xorg (and the framebuffer, if any)?
I presume using the alt + cursor keys locks it up when switching to the vt Xorg is running on as well?

you were right hopeless ... here is what i found on the forums:
| Quote: | For any kernel do NOT enable the following options or else you risk bootsplash not working or framebuffer corruption when switching VTs.
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
< > nVidia Riva support (do not enable!)
Logo configuration --->
[ ] Bootup logo (do not enable!)
|
|
I disabled Bootup logo and did a kernel recompile. There are some 'other not related to this topic' errors but at least the computer has stopped freezing now. |
