I think I've seen this problem discussed before, but I don't know how I'd even query the archives on it.
I'm on Debian stable, version 4.1.0.1 of xserver-xfree86, running a Trident Cyberblade i/1 video card and a generic monitor. Here's the problem: When I'm in X and switch out to a console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) all is fine. When I switch from there back to X (Alt-F7), the screen is dark and after a few seconds, I lose video sync (you can tell because the lights on the monitor start blinking as through the monitor has no signal to it). I have to kill X in order to recover. I've tried the frequency ranges that the monitor's manual indicates. I've tried using the framebuffer interface. Etc. etc. It seems like I've heard of this problem before, but I don't recall the solution. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
