Dear All, I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 and a GeForce2 Go graphic card on it. I have installed the nvidia-driver from the ports collection. When I use the open source nv driver for X, I can switch between the console and X properly. ( with ALT + CTRL + F[1..9] ). But when I use the binary nvidia driver on X, when I switch to the console my laptop hangs on. ( Nothing works, It really hangs :(( ) I have to use the acpi power button the turn my laptop off ;) As you know the open source nv driver is not working for dual head. So I have to use the NVidia binary driver just for dual monitor usage. I have tested many cases, I've got a --- STRANGE --- pattern. If the second Monitor is plugged when the nvidia X driver is loading, I can switch between console and X just like the nv. But when the nvidia is loaded without the second monitor plugged I cannot switch between console and the X and it will hangs ;) hmmm thats really strange to me. Anyone knows why ? Best Regards, Soheil
