Hi Walter, thanks a lot for your reply :) I tried chvt 1 by hand and it generates the same "color flash" as the automatic switch to the console while shutting down my box. I think, switching to the console as such isnt the problem here as it works. The problem is the switching process itsself. "To switch" generates that flickering colors. May be turning off brightness, switching and turning on brightness /may/ help...but how? Best regards, mcc
