Xwindows terminal corruption after logoff

prismra · 08-20-2005, 04:07 PM

Ok, when I log out of xwindows, my terminal is corrupted, some times I can see text, other times I cannot. The whole screen turns a shade of red with a purple border around the whole screen.

Any ideas?

Just questions ...

What driver are you using for the framebuffer,
which one for X?

Cheers,
Tink

Is this what you need?

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "savage"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "S3 ProSavage KM133"

(sorry, I'm still new)

I get something similar with nvidia drivers - green blocks instead of text
I would see if theres a users forum for your card/drivers manufacturer - maybe theres a solution there, although theres not been any response from nvidia about this for me, maybe you will have better luck

Ok, I set the driver to VESA and it works, but, of course I get no openGL support, but then again, I don't even know if that driver is supported for 3d anyway. So, thats how you fix it if anyone else needs to know.

Excellent job - and for future reference: no bumping of
posts until 24 hours have passed. It's in the rules.
