hi people, I can't seem to figure this out?

when I log out of kde, it appears to shutdown correctly, but then I just get a black screen... nothin there

I'm running gentoo, with a geforce3 card, I was using the latest nvidia drivers and in kde everything works great, till it comes time to logout to console... I'm forced to hardboot

I tried changing the NvAgp option in my xf86config from NVAGP to AGPGART then to none... no luck

I tried using the generic nv drivers... no luck kde runs fine till logout .. same shizzle.

someone mentioned re-emerging x windows but...c'mon? thats a little excessive isn't it?

any idea would be great!

Can you use [ctl]+[alt]+[f1-6] to get a virtual terminal?

nope, I've tried a number of key combos without any response from the keyboard at all.

ctrl + alt + everything, f keys, backspace, del ...

hmmm?

Same thing happens for me Terrance with mdk9.1 on a toshiba
laptop. If I try to logout, a black screen with no prompt. No combo
of keys works except ctrl+alt+del to re-boot. As a matter of fact
I was just playing around with xinit and twm and same thing,
ctrl+alt+bksp gets me a black screen, no prompt. Until I find a
better method I just run the halt cmd. Clues anyone?

I have the exact same problem. I select logout and get a blank screen. Someone please help with this?
