Okay...here is a description of the problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159106 Basically, the symptom is that text consoles are screwed up after starting X, and in some cases (Trident Cyber*) a completely white x display. To reproduce, 'startx' and then 'Ctrl+Alt+F1' and see if the usual text shows up, of if you get something else (or many something esles). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
