post your xorg.conf file. and the output of lspci.
It may be that the driver is not setting the correct video mode when switching back to text mode. Settings vary per driver. --- mike t. ----- Original Message ---- From: Ludwig Isaac Lim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 2:54:28 PM Subject: [plug] Unable to Display the 80 x 25 Screen Hi: I usually boot my PC in runlevel 3 and start X-Windows by typing "startx". When I need to used the "text mode" (80 x 25 screen), I would press the CTRL-ALT-F<n> keys simultaneously. There are times when after pressing CTRL-ALT-F<n> keys, the monitor would display "No signal", but I can still switch back to the X-Windows mode by pressing CTRL-ALT-F7 keys simulteaneously. The behavior is quite unpredictable (i.e. sometimes I can switch to 80x25 mode, sometimes I can't). Also, I noticed that the behavior is less frequent when I first switched to an empty workspace before hitting the CTRL-ALT-F<n> keys. OS : Fedora Core 6 X-Windows : GNOME 2.16 Any ideas? Many thanks, ludwig. PS : I know there is a "terminal" application, but sometimes I prefer using the 80 x 25 screen. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
