Regarding: Probable bug at the nsc driver: switching consoles non functional Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ XFree86 Version: XFree86 4.3.0RC2
OS: SuSE 8.0 with kernels 2.4.18-SuSE and 2.4.20-SuSE Area: driver nsc Server: XFree86 (The XFree86 4.x server) Server: driver nsc Video Card: Geode GX1 with companion chip 5530 Description: I'm using an advantech pcm3350 SBC. I have reinstalled SuSE 8.0 with a minimal set-up (no X and yes to minimal system). About 250Mb was installed. Then I installed Xfree86 4.3.0RC2 using the Xinstall.sh script. No errors and so on. Then I copied the XFree86Config file from the previous setup (including the nsc module). When running startx everything was functional at 1024x768 16bpp. The windows manager is twm. When I use CRTL+ALT+Fx the screen flicks and goes to dark black. No characters -nada-. When I press CRTL+ALT+F7, the graphics are back again. If I pay attention, the consoles appears for a fraction of a second before switching to graphics, so the memory is not corrupted. I have changed the "nsc" line to "vesa" line, and the consoles and graphics are ok again. I can swith between them without corruption. When I put back "nsc" the black screens are back again. So I believe the problem is with the nsc driver itself. I have moved the kernel from 2.4.18-SuSE to 2.4.20-SuSE and the behaviour is the same. I have checked and I have framebuffer configured in the kernel (SVGA compiled in and others as modules). I know since SuSE puts the kernel config file in /proc/config.gz I do not have the FULL SERVER OUTPUT right now but no error is reported. I can get it but it is a Single Board Computer so I not trivial. Repeat By: With the nsc driver loaded, swith consoles using CRTL+ALT+Fx and I get only black screens. CRTL+ALT+F7 returns to graphics console. The Xserver is up and alive since I can export DISPLAY. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
