Bug#622894: xserver-xorg: VT switching does not work.

2011-04-15 Thread John D. Hendrickson and Sara Darnell
rununtil you get it sorted out why... there are program(s) to refresh vga text mode / save restore vesa. run it and you'll have your text terminal. note because VT depends on kernel etc you problem might depend on how you start x, not just X drivers or a flaky video card Enno Deimel wrote

I use xmodmap. No way is it obsolete. It's who's job? To break unix software by making time honored standards "obsolete" a little at a time? - John jida...@jidanni.org wrote: OK, setxkbmap -option caps:none worked. Thanks! "CB" == Cyril Brulebois writes: CB> Well, nobody bothered to se

but you can set the sync modes before X startup or after - so saying it is UBUNTU's error is wrong. it is Ubuntu's correctness to use the better frequencies maybe VERY NORMAL. I have used vga extended cables or switchbox, but not with that exact card - and using them reduces quality video

Why blame X ? many desktops / window managers will send X a HUP signal on exit. a bad application might even do it. First show was closed by UNIX or X itself decided to exit. Michal Suchanek wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.9.99.903-1 Followup-For: Bug #618622 Still a proble

You said radeon right? I don't have that but here's some tips. /usr/X11R7/bin/Xorg (that's the name of your "real X server") automatically makes a config (example /etc/X11/Xorg-config-4). What you want is to run Xorg with option to save the config. Editing that config you'll see mouse, keyb

my experience with that is you *might* have a memory problem with your video card with the lockup statement included that adds to the possibility that might be so on the other hand I can't see it so you might just need graphics libs needing to be re-installed Best is if you can try a "know

I haven't heard of many chips that won't hang given the wrong instructsion whether it's GPU or keyboard controller. Sounds like more than a driver issue but a choice of driver issue. How are you going to have it both ways without an ammount of care you have no time for? having interrupting a

I'll restate the obvious. note I'm not part of xserver-xorg-video-vesa team - so look for more answers. make sure your linux kernel has radeon support. make sure X loads the modules. make sure X.org supports the chipset that is actually on the card. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-r
