An additional, maybe related culprit, which I am asking other users to verify; maybe it helps to track down what's really going on:
Two Different X-Sessions, the first one created by logging into KDM, second one created by "Switch User" with a different user from the KDE- Menu. The two sessions can be reached by Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F9. Almost in 90% percent of the cases switching back from F9 to F7 results in a blank screen with the mouse pointer present and I can see its shape change when hovering over the KDE-Menu, Also, Input is possible by Alt-F2. Since I have another distribution (Mandriva) sitting on a different partition, it simply works there, so this is definitely an /K)Ubuntu problem. Also, in Mandriva I can use a console with hi-res framebuffer and switch back and forth without problem. -- Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
