X works Switching between virtual consoles and X works. Those work fine on my Thinkcentre P IV running Sl5, and on my HP DC7700 running F8, but SL5 is a basket case. On the Thinkcentre, "modprobe intelfb" gets framebuffer, I don't recall what, if anything, I had to do to f8, I'm running f9 and that lacks a dom0 kernel (but I have kvm). Switching works as one would expect on the Thinkcentre (but "fbset --all" is advantageous). Switching on SL5 gets various, somewhat random, video corruption in VCs and in X. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-)
