This works perfectly on my old notebook where I was not able to switch back to the console in text mode. Yet this doesn't solve the problem when coming from Grub2 in graphical mode. Though, I detected that the problem only occurs when there was a reboot by Ctrl-Alt-Del or by "shutdown -r". When switching the computer off an on again, the text mode comes up properly. Maybe I will detect another helping effect in every day use. Thank you so far. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
