I think the problem is uvesafb. After switching to tty1 from a x session i get the console unusable (blank screen). Switching again to x session give me no problem. stack@ToSSiKa ~ $ dmesg | grep uvesa Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda5 udev video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32,mtrr:3,ywrap usbcore.autosuspend=1 uvesafb: NVIDIA Corporation, G84 Board - p410h1 , Chip Rev , OEM: NVIDIA, VBE v3.0 uvesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:b7a0 uvesafb: pmi: set display start = c00cb803, set palette = c00cb85e uvesafb: pmi: ports = 3b4 3b5 3ba 3c0 3c1 3c4 3c5 3c6 3c7 3c8 3c9 3cc 3ce 3cf 3d0 3d1 3d2 3d3 3d4 3d5 3da uvesafb: VBIOS/hardware doesn't support DDC transfers uvesafb: no monitor limits have been set, default refresh rate will be used uvesafb: scrolling: ywrap using protected mode interface, yres_virtual=2867 uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xfb000000, mapped to 0xf8880000, using 14336k, total 14336k uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x14f, err=0) uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x14f, err=0) stack@ToSSiKa ~ $ uname -a Linux ToSSiKa 2.6.23-gentoo #6 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 21 21:05:43 CEST 2007 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Reproducible: Always
Could you please try downloading and manually installing the following v86d version: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/archive/testing/v86d-0.1-t1.tar.bz2 You'll need to do: ./configure --with-klibc make make install
Ok. No problem found with this update. Everything works ok. Thank you
