But I did it :D 1) why are you running x on a server in the first place? 2) Your problems lie in your video drivers. Doing a search I found this: Workaround 1: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf set Option UseFBDev true to false, note in this case switching VT is broken and locks the box. Workaround 2: use Driver fbdev rather than ati Workaround 3: use Driver vesa On my box 'man i810' also gives me a man page with specific options for my driver. I guess the same should be true for 'man ati' and 'man vesa' if you have the respective packages installed (I don't).

Strange X phenomen since upgrade to X-org
I recently upgraded a production system from sarge to etch and for the most part there were no real surprises. [ Congrats to the developers] I did run into a thorny problem that I am unable to figure out. When I switch from the xserver to the console screen (ctrl-alt-F1) all is OK, however when I try to switch back to the Xsever screen (ctrl-alt-F7) it is always (100% of the time) unreadable. The screen seems to be made up of 4 to 6 overlaping images that are vertically more narrow than normal. This is my first use of xorg and other than that it works OK. I can correct this by restarting the xserver. Due to my lack of experience with xorg I need a little help. Thanks!!! -- John W.
