I'm running debian unstable, kernel 2.4.2, latest kde packages. >From the moment the kdm logon screen appears and at any point thereafter (i.e. when kde is running), if I switch to a text console (alt-ctrl-F1 etc.) the screen is filled with vertical black and white stripes and I cannot see any text characters. Commands appear to work - if I type "shutdown -h 0" it actually works, even though I cannot see any of the characters I am typing.
While the system is booting everything looks fine - the problem seems to begin only after the kde logon screen appears. Any ideas??? Have I accidentally deleted an essential package or corrupted an essential file??? Thank you, Mino
