Drivers before 4363 (I think) didn't and still don't have that problem. If X is actually crashing, or you want to be able to see the console after switching into X, perhaps try an earlier driver?

Thanks It remembers me of something I've read about X stealing Virtual Terminal when it spawns to fast. I may be wrong but I think X takes the first available VT. If VTs haven't got enough time to spawn. I don't remember how it can be solve, but googling around searching this problem could help you. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] X11 crashing when switching to terminal or shutdown
Hi all I've had some problems with X11 before related to crashing when starting up on a gf2 card in another machine. This machine has a ti4800 which so far has been running fine. I however updated X11 to xfree-4.3.0-r3 and still starts up fine, but when I try to change back to terminal using alt- combination or shutdown the X server I geta hard crash similar to the AGP problem on the other machine. I've checked that I have the latest nvidia drivers ( I do ) and according to portage I have the latest xfree. I've played with agp settings and even disabled it completely, still no change. anybody have a similar problem and can possibly shed some light on a solution ? Henti -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
