| Post subject: | CTRL-ALT-F1 weirdness |
when I hit CTRL-ALT-F1 (through F6), all I see is a flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. The rest of the screen is black. Then, when I hit ALT-F7 to get back to X the frontend window is smaller and doesn't fill up the whole tv. I can see the desktop around all edges. When I am in the black screen/flashing cursor mode I can enter commands, I just can't see what I'm typing, or any other output. Does anyone know what is causing this? This problem went away recently when I did a fresh install, but as soon as I did an upgrade install it came back. So, I'm assuming it's something I did way back in the day (maybe to get my PVR-350 tvout working) that is now still haunting me. I'm using an FX5200 for output now. |

Can someone at least tell me where to start looking into this issue? I'd like to upgrade to 5A22, but I would like to resolve this prior to upgrading so that if I run into problems (like installing nvidia drivers) I have some feedback I can see. thx. |

I guess someone needs to read the annoucement and changelog. The nvidia drivers are installed automatically. |

Try changing vga=xxx to vga=normal in your lilo.conf file. Remember to run lilo after the change also. |

Cecil: Obviously this creates problems other times than just the install. That's cool that you automatically install the Nvidia drivers, but that only addresses a symptom of my problem not the problem its self. Jake: thanks for the suggestion, but vga is already set to normal... |

Well, I found the problem. As I mentioned before I originally was viewing output from my pvr-350. My problem stemmed from that. I went back through the instructions to getting tvout to work on the pvr-350 and saw that the changes to the ivtv module where still in place. Once I removed them, the funny business went away. |
