Console and X (Problems leaving X) Slack 10

abxbx · 07-19-2004, 03:15 PM

After I leave X, I just get a black screen. Then I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and just reboot. I've tried using different window managers and exiting, same problem. My Console resolution is set at 1024x768x256. Maybe I should try a lower resolution? How do I fix this problem? When Slack 10 is loading, I see no console problems. This problem occurs everytime I leave X. Also, if I try to switch to console via CTRL+ALT+F(X), the same problem occurs, well plus I can't get back to X in that case.

Thanks.

Do you use fbdev as video driver in your xorg.conf ?

Do you perform a clean setup of Slack 10 or do you upgrade the distro from a previous version?

By the way...

what video card are you using?

Same problem, but i cant see the messages of the boot
i can only see it, when linux end the boot and enter to gdm, where i login and use in xterm dmesg.
its console framebuffer support the solution?i mean compile the kernel with it marked.
i made aclean installation in reiserfs, i use slackware 10 with gnomem the gnome who come with slack 10.

It's a clean install. I changed no settings. I'm using an Intel 845GV onboard graphics card. X runs just fine. I don't know what my xorg settings are, they're just defaults.

Yes, I'm using the fbdev as my xorg.conf. Or whatever that default is for the VESA.

Try to do xorgconfig and try to choose another driver than VESA

I tried the i810 driver, everything is in working order. Thank you.
