[XFree86] missing characters when switching from X to virtual consoles
X is started with xdm. My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers has: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 This is XFree86 4.3.0 under Linux 2.4.22. When switching from the X to another console, such as with Ctrl-Alt-F4, characters are missing from the display. Sometimes a whole column is missing and sometimes what I type is missing every other character (but it still works). xdm was started from the first virtual console. My virtual consoles are managed with init from sysvinit-2.84 and agetty from util-linux-2.11z. When I start X using startx and switch consoles, it seems to work fine (no missing characters). So the problem seems to appear to be related to xdm. I tried reset and it cleared the screen, but the missing characters problem continued. Does anyone know a solution for this? If this is documented somewhere, please let me know. Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/ ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

This sort of thing is generally a graphics driver bug. Mark. On Tue, 28 Oct 2003, Jeremy C. Reed wrote: X is started with xdm.
