Exactly my setup and it works fine. It's rather pointless having moused=20 running on this machine anyway since the console never restores on VT switc= h=20 and remains pure white until reboot. $DEITY knows why, but I can live with = it=20 (this is pre-7.4 behaviour as well, so it's not a regression. In fact, this= =20 machine has always done this, and no amount of switching VTYs or closing an= d=20 opening the lid makes any difference). Sorry about taking my time to reply, Darryl, but I was up to my armpits in= =20 i386->amd64 upgrade on the mail server today and I still can't get Munin to= =20 play nicely ;o) Best regards, =2D-=20 Matt Dawson MTD15-RIPE matt@chronos.org.uk
