Hi, I admit it, lured by the promise of a faster screensaver I installed the closed source nVidia GL libraries and modules, and now I'm suffering for it.
My GL screen hacks are running 4x faster, but I can't switch virtual terminals and am limited to a single running Xsession (I usually have three or four open for other member of my household). If I CTRL-ALT-F<n> all I get is noise, *sometimes* I can get back to X sometimes I can't. If I actually close X my console is locked, so I'm forced to run a display manager to respawn X. I sould probably just reinstal the packages nVidia has stomped on and repent of my proprietary ways, but has anyone else experienced this and know a different fix? I'm running sid with: 2.4.14-686-smp (debian official) xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-9 nVidia Corporation Riva TnT [NV04] (rev 04) (PCI) Dual PPro 200Mhz 256M and the evil: NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1541 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541 Interesting dmesg stuff: Warning: Remapping obsolete /dev/fb* minor 32 to 1 Warning: Remapping obsolete /dev/fb* minor 64 to 2 Warning: Remapping obsolete /dev/fb* minor 96 to 3 Shamefully yours, -Jon
