HP Compaq 8510W
Fresh install of 32-bit Arch
I have had 64-bit Arch running on this laptop without incident---until the last upgrade broke Flash..
(But that's another story.....)
Now, I have just installed 32-bit Arch and--after doing some setup and configuring--the TTYs quit working. Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, etc. produces only a brightly-colored screen with random letters and numbers. A re-install cured it, but only for a short while.
The symptoms suggest an issue with a video driver, but I don't know what driver is used when toggling to a TTY.
As I write this, I am running from Ubuntu, and all is well.
