In console mode can change tty's cannot from KDE or GRM
Good da :-)
I'm new to Linux I installed slack 10.1 everything was ok until I started Xvideo ( startx). If I try to switch to terminal mode or log out , everything turn black. in console mode I can switch btwn tty1 thru tty6 no problem. Compaq EVO with Intel 82845/GL graphics. Sound works ok. Everything seems ok. Changed file inittab mode from 3 to 4 and back no difference. when you Logout the screen turns black. Thanks for any help. I only have access to the box from 11:00pm to 7:00am so please be patience for my return answer. Thanks again |
Look for this section in inittab:
Code:
# These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode: HTH |
in the console mode u can switch between ttys using alt+Fn key, but in X u have to use control+alt+Fn. Of course this is not all. Some times it's impossible to switch to console from X unless u add next line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
in the Section Server Flags u must add this Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always" |
Sorry nether of the changes worked.
I have fixed it temporarily, I ran live suse 9.2 and looked at the xwindow config file. It also uses xorg.conf but @xorg.conf (XF86Config) . So I mounted slack (hda6) to tmp on suse. copied the files changed (mouse) and I can now switch btn Xwindow (KDE) and tty1-tt6. The problem is the xorg.conf. I will run the xorgconfig / xorgsetup and post the results to see if it fixes the problem. Again thanks. |
Good da
I ran the xorgconfig / xorgsetup and now I can go from xwindow to console and back with no black screen. Thanks again |
