When i'm on X and i switch to other terminal (control-alt-F1),
and then switch back to X, my X and terminals crash, the
terminals get a black screen and X doesn't respond.....
It's pretty weird i've never had this problem and i reinstalled
woody to see if this fixes it but it keep crashing.....

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

What graphics card is in your system? It is probably related...

I have had similar problems (I am running unstable) on my machine with a
Geforce 2 graphics card. The problem is much more frequent if I include the
nvidia frame buffer in my kernel. I believe that it has to do with the Nvidia drivers. (The frequency of the problem was reduced last time I updated them.)

For now I do not switch to virtual consoles when using X on this machine.
(So it seems to have something to do with not correctly saving and restoring
the state of the graphics card when switching consoles.)

I am not having this problem on my other machines. (neomagic, matrox G200, and one with some old card).

Anyone else have a real solution.

a quick comment on this...

i am was running a woody and i upped to sid (unstable) recently.

i had this problem once....and never again

as per above post...probably a video card issue

for the record: i am using the old fashioned ati rage pro 128
