they are not gone... I just can't see the text I can login and issue commands like fbset but it doesn't clear up the terminal I can see the terminal and everthing is fine UNTIL I load X Once X has initialized the video card, the fb no longer works I'm thinkin that it has something to do with the difference between X and fb timings If I boot to knoppix, the same thing happens fb works until X loads, then no longer can see the text in the terminals B-) On Friday 22 October 2004 02:08 pm, sean-lynch@sean-lynch.com wrote:
Is the terminal really gone, or could the framebuffer be rendering the login prompt 'off' the physical screen?
Try dissabling the frame buffer, try switching to runlevel 3, and see if you can boot to non-X.
hard to believe the terminals are really gone.

I got the HP zv5000 and LOVE IT!
I was able to get SuSE 9.1 on it without too much trouble.
Got the nvidia driver working and the widescreen (1280x800) resolution running.
I know the boadcom wireless isn't going to work until 9.2 (hint hint hint).
I am only having one problem and have one request
The problem I'm having is that once X has loaded, I cannot ever get back to a console, virtual or otherwise. I mean I can get to it, I just can't see it. The screen is messed up.
Is there a way to fix this? I seem to remember some trouble I had way back when with SuSE 6 something and nvidia where I had to disable the graphical boot screens to stop the issues. Any ideas?
The request would be that I remember seeing somewhere that someone was able to enable the touchpad scrolling feature with an aps kernel patch. Anyone heard of this or know where I might find more information?
Thanks in advance
