-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone, I just encountered a very strange problem with my notebook thats running 5.0-RELEASE and XFree86. Normally the regular color of the plain VT is a black background with a white forground. I have been running XFree86 on the laptop for about a month. Everynow and then when I close the laptop lid while XFree86 is still running when I re-open the top the screen is black and in some kinda suspend mode. I was meaning to disable this in the BIOS. But the last time it happened, the background of the VT is blue and the forground is black. And if i do this command: `vidcontrol white black`, and it stays with the blue background and the black forground. It's almost as if XFree86 somehow munged the original values for vidcontrol are set to. Do any of you know where these values might be held? Or has anyone seen something like this before? Thanks a ton for any help. ~Shane Kinney "Build Ramps, Not Bombs." pgp key: http://www.freebsdhackers.net/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+dganIyUr/yoGQnYRAq4GAJ9iktHkhM/2yEcp9gud76oq8kJGswCfaKZQ USPNuvWMTa+sVfUsruKs+VE= =8LWb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
