Hi gang - I'm running hail on a Dell Inspiron 7500 notebook. I initially
set the box up using instructions I found at
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/xserver.html. I used this guys
pre-compiled 2.2.14 kernel with framebuffer support, and it was pretty
sweet for a while... after a couple of weeks, I decided to get brave and
compile a 2.2.16 kernel with framebuffer support and all of the stuff that
this notebook needs. It worked great for a while, but today I just noticed
that my virtual consoles are blank!
I know that they worked fine after I compiled my 2.2.16 kernel - this
problem must have surfaced in the last week or so.. I've done a couple of
dist-upgrades in that time. Has anything come out that could have broken my
console display? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
The crazy part is that X is working fine - it's just the console that is
blank! The console does appear during boot time. After X loads, if I
CRTL-ALT-F1 to the console the screen is blank. It's insane - X is supposed
to be the problem child, not the text mode console!!! ARGH!!!!
TIA :)
