No. When I try to switch to a console tty, my video card loses its signal. (If I recall the monitor viewmeter correctly, the video card is thrown down into a 2KHz horizontal, 0 Hz vertical setting -- or something along those lines). |You set syscons into the VESA 132x43 mode. How did you do that? |Did you run vidcontrol by hand? Or, you run it in /etc/rc*? /etc/rc.local: vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 -f 8x8 cp866-8x8 vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 132x43 vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv1 132x43 vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv2 132x43 |Are all vtys set in this 132x43 mode? Or, just a single vty is set |to this mode? All vtys. |Have you ever start the X server when all vtys are in the standard |80x25 mode? I just tried that. Quiting/suspending XFree86 3.9.15 toasted the video clocks just the same as before with 132x43. |Have you had the same or similar problem before with the previous versions |of XFree86? No. XFree86 3.3.3.1 works just fine quiting/suspending X to 80x25 or 132x43.
