I am having this problem after I upgrade from FC3 to FC4. Every time I switch back from console to X, my Dell desktop Dimension 3000 logs me out of the current session and ask me to relog in. However, I do not have this problem when I switch from X to virtual console. I can always resume my previous session under tty with no problem. I used FC3 briefly before on the same machine and did not experience this problem either. I am running xorg-x11 6.8.2, Release 37.FC4.49.2. Thank you if anyone can give some suggestions on what is happening.

the odds are good that the server is crashing when you try to switch back to X. you can confirm this by booting in runlevel 3, running 'startx' by hand, and trying to switch to VT and back. if you do reproduce it this way, please attach the X log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) from after the crash.
Created attachment 4152 [details] Xorg log file I tried "$startx", and I received error message "Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0." I removed /tmp/.X0-lock and tried again. I could switch to console, but when I came back, I got a black screen with two lines: "audit(:3278062): major=252 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (1)" and "audit(:3043416): major=113 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (2)". After I reboot, I tried "$ps aux | grep 'cat /tmp/.X0-lock'", which gives me something like "carlgoh 15170 0.0 0.2 3748 668 pts/3 S+ 20:00 0:00 grep cat /tmp/.X0-lock". I tried "pgrep X" which outputs only one number 2633. "$startx -- :1" from gnome terminal gives me a black screen. I switch to console and come back to X, and I get logged out again. I am attaching my Xorg.0.log file. It does look to me like there is server problem, but I am a bit lost at the concept of X-server. If I use cable to get connected to internet, where should be my X-server? Any suggestion on how to correct the problem? Merry Christmas!
What you need to do from the commandline is go to runlevel 3. By typing.... init 3 this will shutdown X and any xdm based login manager. Now, run startx and X will start up. Now try switching VT's. If it crashes, post the logfile from /var/log/Xorg.0.log here before rebooting. Otherwise the logfile will get overwritten again.
Hello, I think I have the same problem. When I switch from X to a text console (and back), my X will be restarted (causing the login screen to re-appear). I looked at my xorg logfile and noticed the following in the logfile: "Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x86) [0x80b49a6] 1: [0xffffe420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so [0xb79dc666] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so [0xb7813915] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libramdac.so [0xb780807b] 5: /usr/bin/X [0x80bad29] 6: /usr/bin/X [0x80c52e1] 7: /usr/bin/X(xf86Wakeup+0x34a) [0x80b4ddf] 8: /usr/bin/X(WakeupHandler+0x4f) [0x8089ad7] 9: /usr/bin/X(WaitForSomething+0x1ed) [0x818f8ce] 10: /usr/bin/X(Dispatch+0x8e) [0x8085c16] 11: /usr/bin/X(main+0x47c) [0x806e0a8] 12: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd2) [0xb7d87ea2] 13: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x81) [0x806d611] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting" This is with ubuntu dapper (currently up to date), if you need more info (the complete logfile) I can attach it if you want.
The whole logfile would be good.

Created attachment 5342 [details] logfile showing crash I've got the same problem using i810 1.5.1. Switching from X to a console and back, crashes the X server. This happens only when I use the local flat panel. When I use an external monitor (and disable the local flat panel), I can switch to and from a console without problems.
