If i can solve this i may know what is wrong with my system.
Once logged into kde on slack 10.1 if i try and crtl + alt + 1-6 etc and then back into 7 in any order the display looks like it corrupts and the system hardlocks. since i am new to this stuff i cant say i know how to assess something like this. Can any one help?
I dont belive this is relevant but i AM running the ati drivers i can try an run m,y backed up default xorg.conf and see how teh system responds.

i think that's very relevant...
can you try your old xorg.conf ?
also tell smth. about your hardware....
i mean graphics card, mobo.
also , which kernel do you use ?
the only errors i can see when i do ctrl alt 1 is this:
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
message is repeated 4 times.
[EDIT]: using my defalt generated xorg.conf i can jump in and out of KDE, i do see the same artifiacting but then it cleans up and i am able to use it again.
