Re: Graphic-Card-Resolution in GUI affects blanking virtual-consoles(tty1 etc.)
Yeah, but why does it take several seconds? Have you tried another DE/WM combination? So, really in fact, you want to run KDE at a higher resolution than what your card is capable of? I don't know why the virtual consoles go BLANK only after about 20 seconds, it seems to be a problem with the graphics mode the graphics resolution. In fact, after a very fresh Debian-Installation (Sqeeze / Wheezy anyway ...) the virtual-console had a very,very,very tiny type face AND the graphics resolution within X (KDE) was automaticly choosen at 1600x1200 dpi. A use a Nvidia GTX 210 card and this video mode is the highest available mode. At this mode on my CRT-monitor this video-mode is not good to my eyes :) so I chose another (less higher) resolution. I did not realize the problem with the blanking virtual terminal at once ! (cause of not regularly using the virtual console). When recognizing the problem I thought this occurs at any mode - not until after a few experiments I found out the relation between the graphic- resolution: 1600x1200 o.k. also for the tty1 - tty6 lower than 1600x1200 NOT o.k. kindly Herbert

Re: Graphic-Card-Resolution in GUI affects blanking virtual-consoles(tty1 etc.)
Hello Chris, perhaps I do not understand your proposal ... if I switch to runlevel=1 (that's the single user mode, isn't it?) there is no X running, so I can login as root only in text-mode (console). X (or graphical user interface such as KDE) is only available at runlevel 2 up to runlevel 6. So again: no matter wich user is logged in KDE - the virtual console blanks IF there is another graphic-card resolution than the (automaticly choosen 1600x1200). greetings Herbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Correct. That should rule out non running software. X (or graphical user interface such as KDE) is only available at runlevel 2 up to runlevel 6.

Graphic-Card-Resolution in GUI affects blanking virtual-consoles (tty1 etc.)
Following issue occurs (in both flavours Squeeze as well as Wheezy): Running amd64 KDE-Environment. It does not matter running nouveau-graphics-driver or nvidia-graphics-driver (the Debian way ...) If I switch from KDE-GUI (tty7) to virtual-consoles (tty1 .. tty6) and login in text-mode -- after a few seconds, theese virtual-consoles will go BLANK. The past year I've read a lot of online-doc's maybe concerning this problem, but theese articles may not hit the core issue I believe. For me now it seems to be clear: Only if the graphics-card-resolution is left as standard (in my case this seems to be 1600x1200) then a switch to tty1-6 does not affect in blanking virtual consoles - ONLY if I change the resolution to a lower value (ie. 1400x1050 or other ones ...) the issue of 'blank virtual consoles' occurs. So this is not a heavy problem, because one can say: it only makes the virtual-console quiet unusable - why use it ?? Well, sometimes I WANT use vt's ! Any idea ? greetings Herbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
