From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Felix Miata Subject: black screen on startx exit from native modes back to xga on vttys Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 06:31:35 -0400 Message-ID: <5530E107.9030600@earthlink.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-console-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-console@vger.kernel.org gfxchps involved: radeon rv200 NVidia NV11 Bugs filed and mailing list threads, all unhelpful: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096487 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15662 https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2014-09/msg00218.html https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2015-02/msg00384.html http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2015-March/057252.html http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2015-April/057314.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030752.html Newest appearance of the problem is on Tumbleweed, where it only started very recently, compared to a year ago in Rawhide. Typical modes used in Xorg are 1600x1200 and 1440x900, while in most cases vttys are supposed to be 1024x768, and without Plymouth from cmdline inclusion of video=1024x768@60. Could this be a KMS defect? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
