Heyo.
dmesg attached at end of email. Short version: I've got an Intel
D2500CCE mini-ITX board (Atom 2500; Atom D2000/N2000 Video; DVI and VGA
outputs; attached to DVI; driving an Apple Cinema Display). The machine
is mostly to be configured as a home (and work-from-home)
router/firewall, so virtual terminal only is fine, but I also wanted to
experiment with X figuring that I might bring some other machines up on
OpenBSD. I'm running 5.8 installed from CD, AMD64, multiprocessor
(matching the CPU).
My problem: I start X (startx), and it comes up fine (well, it hates
the Intel chipset, I think, but it comes up VESA, which is good enough
for getting on with), but it clobbers the virtual terminals. That is,
if I Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or -F2, etc.) from the X session, I have a "black"
screen (it's more a dark gray: there's some power in, because if that
display is up when I reboot, the change to no power is noticeable). The
same is true for all the virtual consoles if I quit X (from the menu,
or via Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, or ssh in and kill it by PID).
I don't see mentions of exactly this on OpenBSD lists (MARC: misc,
tech, bugs), or googling, but I might not have come up with the right
search terms, so if there's an easy/obvious answer, please let me know,
okay?
I've got two theories about what's happening.
Some of the hits that I found, googling, were from Linux (mostly
Ubuntu) users who had a conflict between a graphical boot mode (splash
screen and stuff) and their X display mode. It's possible that invoking
startx puts the video card into a mode that makes it impossible to
display the default 80x25 text mode (the virtual terminals go black-ish
whether I'm already logged in there or not). If that's the case, is
there some magic that would fix it? Changing the kernel's notion of
video mode to more nearly match what the VESA driver has decided to
use? (it's using 1600x1200 (0x15a), although it correctly recognizes
the monitor at 1920x1200 ... should I spend time making X behave better
first? but I'd rather have the virtual terminals) That's possibility
one.
Second possibility is that somehow, when it turns on X, it tries to
switch the terminals over to the VGA connector. This seems less likely
(I spent most of my time chasing this wild hare, though), because if
that were the case, then the X display would go black as well, right?
Well, and it's also possible that I've stupidly managed to overlook a
firmware loading requirement.
Any hints? Sorry to be annoying, but I'm hoping this is something that
someone has experience of, so that I can be pointed at documentation
that I should have been able to find on my own. Thanks for your time.
Amy!
