I run X on the primary and fbdev on the secondary. I'm having a problem setting the mode to the fbdev device from an xterm window. This was working six months ago in 2.6 but it is broken currently. If I load fbdev on my primary card, then run X on it, fbset will work on the primary card fron the xterm window. if I load fbdev on my secondary card (it is reset and fbdev loads without problem) then fbset from an xterm window will lock my box. fbset from a console window works fine. I have tried this both ways, swapping the primary and secondary cards, so it doesn't seem to be the card drivers. Is there some locking going on in fbdev mode setting that is interacting with X? My X server does not have the fbdev driver loaded. The only thing I can think of is that the console is marked at being in KD_GRAPHICs. Any ideas? ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
