My system locks up when I switch to a virtual terminal from XServer. I envoke XServer with: xinit -- Xvesa :0 -screen 1280x1024x32 -3button -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -dpi 96 -shadow -nolisten tcp my .xinitrc: /opt/fdo/bin/xcompmgr & startkde I am used jhbuild to build the server from CVS yesterday, version reported is 11.0, vendor release is 6,600. I can't find a build number anywhere. I should probably mention I use the Vesa frame buffer in linux as well and I am running the 2.6.3 kernel.
The lockup was casued by the -shadow option, I am not using it anymore and it works fine.
so, you use both VESA for the console and X ? it looks like a bad idea to have both using the same 'driver' each one could have a different 'internal state' for the same piece of hardware so, messing the two together could bring you big trouble (like garbled screen at least) i don't know what part of video memory this option tries to copy to main RAM (what shadowing means to me). closing it as 'not a bug' as it is more likely a 'miss-configuration' (using vesa on both sides looks bad IMHO) if someone disagree, fell free to reopen
