=46irst off, thanks to all that replied. I think Robert's post comes closes= t to=20 defining the problem.

Thanks, Robert. As long as it's a known issue I'll wait for an update to th= e=20 xf86-video-ati port. As an aside, this isn't just the usual lines, corrupt screen, fade to grey,= =20 close the lid, switch VTs a few times and it goes type VT switching problem= =2E=20 I've had this on this machine before, and switching back to X and then back= =20 to the console once or twice usually forces it to behave itself. This is a= =20 pure, honest-to-goodness white screen with no other artifacts which no amou= nt=20 of switching back and to makes a difference to. It remains right up to=20 shutdown. In other words, once X has started, the console never displays a= =20 character again until reboot. =2D-=20 Matt Dawson. matt@chronos.org.uk MTD15-RIPE OpenNIC M_D9 MD51-6BONE
