It appears that the display becomes corrupted when it is changed to a frame buffer. At least, when the lid is shut and then reopened, the display is corrupted. The same thing happens when going through the shutdown process, and the X server is stopped. The shutdown splash screens are corrupted and in almost all cases completely unreadable. When running, the switching to a text console (ctrl+alt_f1...f6)and then back to the X display (ctrl+alt+f7) clears the problem. The initial switch to a text console does not clear the corruption. I will post this problem at the Nvidia site. Thanks to all,,, Tom. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
