You can disable the fgconsole check in /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh for this for the moment. Immediately post-etch I am moving this to an event-based system, calling the script not on bootup but on console startup, so that when VGA consoles are started the blanking scripts will be triggered. This is too invasive to happen at this stage of the release, unfortunately. Regards Alastair -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
