This is another theory I had but it doesn't seem to be true.... My new theory is that when I reset the secondary card it left two active VGA devices. Then when I VT swap vgacon writes to the primary one but it is really setting the registers to both cards. But I have some data against this theory. 1) I compiled vgacon out, compiled fbcon in. problem still happens 2) If it both VGAs were active, why can I switch from X to console and back to X and still have fbset from xterm work? The two VT switches would have caused the primary card's VGA setting to get written into the secondary card. After I reset the secondary card I can look at VGA bus routing using lspci and see that VGA is still routed to my primary card and only a single VGA routing is enabled. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
