Getting getty to run.
Hi,
I'm quite new with Debian and I'm having problems with running getty at the startup (so that I get text mode login screen). All I get is graphical login screen and when I try to switch to tty1 (Ctrl-Alt-1) my monitor just switches off (and this happens with all ttys). Same happens (naturally) if I kill the X server. I have the following in my /etc/inittab 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 And also: #which getty /sbin/getty My current runlevel is 2. What else do I need to add or remove and where? |

OK, I got it fixed. I don't know what I actually changed from XF86Config file (I played with the settings a lot so i dont know which one actually helped :) ), but now it works. I have Radeon 7500, so I had updated xfree86 to 4.3.0 (testing) because 4.1.0 doesn't support it. I guess Xserver tried to load some wrong driver somewhere (config file was produced by xf86config).
And apparently console has been "on" all the time because when my monitor went blank I could still give commands and my HD led went nuts. My Radeon just wouldn't for some reason output any signal after I had switched from X to text-mode. Well, now it works anyway... Thanks for the help :cool: |
