System: XP1800,512MB,GeForce4 MX440, Voodoo3 3000, Permedia2, Slackware 9.1, 2.6.9 kernel, Dropline Gnome 2.8 w/ Xorg 6.8.1, xinerama, vesafb running on GF4 Attempting to hotkey to console vtys causes the NV screen to lose hsync, both other screens to lock, and the X server to hang. Occasionally recovery is possible by ssh-ing to the box and doing a kill -1 on gdm. This condition occurs with kernels 2.6.6 and 2.6.9, with or without a framebuffer console. It did not occur with Xorg 6.7.
Note that the problem also occurs with or without Xinerama.
I've since upgraded the system to xorg 6.8.2. Preliminary indications are that hotkeying to text consoles works. Will have to reconfigure system sometime in the next few days to use a framebuffer console and see if hotkey works under that circumstance.
reported as working. please reopen if this is still an issue.
