XFree 4.1.0 Message-ID: <20010619230125.D268@squish.home.loc> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Dear All; I can fire up XFree4.1.0 on one or several virtual consoles, and switch between them, and text consoles to my hearts content. However, if the X server exits everything is still fine, _except_ any attempt to switch consoles at this point will lock up the machine completely. (eg. numlock doesnt work, nor does magic sysrq, unpingable, no logs) [ Trivially the problem manifests itself when one logs in via xdm, then logs out. You can log back on just fine, but if you try to switch virtual consoles after this it locks.] XFree3.3.6 works good for me. XFree4.1.0 manifests the problem on 2.4.5, and 2.2.18. I128 server. Any comments or suggestions welcome.... Thanks; Paul set@pobox.com
