Re: [XFree86] no screen after exiting X from startx

[gabe f]

I'm reposting this - no one knows what this is?

I disabled dbe, but it didn't make any difference.
It's like the text color is black, or something. I experienced text 
color being changed to
blue for a while, then I changed XF86Config, and this started happening 
- maybe
the config changes just changed the text color to a (much) darker blue? 
So, as a
workaround, how do I change the text color in terminal mode? Also, I 
have no
lilo, as I'm using OpenBSD 3.2.

I saw this posted in the groups, but no response there. I start X

from startx, and works fine, but on exit,
I don't have a screen, but i can type "shutdown -r now", blindly, and
it works. What is it?

I have an ati radeon 7500, and have the problem on both an lcd and a
crt monitor. I'm running fvwm 2.4.15.

I have had this happen with various higher level video cards, nVIDIA & 
Matrox
etc. - what I have done to work around the problem is to not use 
framebuffer
mode. Set lilo to vga=normal and you should get your term screen back.
