In my case the consoles work as expected at boot up and I can use them, but after some period of time after I have been using the desktop when I press <CTRL> F? my monitor goes off and when I switch back to the desktop it comes on again. I'm using "ati" in my xorg.conf with the built in video output on this box. If I don't use "ati" in the driver section of my xorg.conf the monitor goes off at almost anytime, desktop or console. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From: martin on 7 Aug 2010 18:30 Hi, On my lenny (debian stable) I use <ctrl><alt>F? to switch to a full-screen console and I use <crtl>F? to switch the desktops. On my squeeze (debian testing) it works the same way. These distro's run on the same AMD64 p.c., on different partitions. Greetings, Martin.

I'm running sid ATM, and I do it the same way. This always worked as expected when I was using the nvidia driver with my nvidia card. Since my nvidia card died I can't switch to a console or my monitor goes off. Right now I'm using the onboard radeon x1200 series video output on this box with "ati" or "radeon" specified in a minimal xorg.conf. I'll be back to nvidia ASAP, but I do hope this can be sorted before squeeze is released. I get bad results with ubuntu as well with the ati output on this box whereas the nvidia card always worked well. > These distro's run on the same AMD64 p.c., on different partitions. > > Greetings, > Martin. > > Alan Ianson schreef: > > On Sat, 2010-08-07 at 08:29 -0500, hugo vanwoerkom wrote: > >> John W Foster wrote: > >>> Just got my new AMD 64 bit system to working well.
