Hi, Just installed SuSE 7.2 and am having a problem (actually, a couple of problems, but this note focuses on one of them). My tty consoles don't work. Here is the symptom: When I use ctrl-alt-F1 (or F2, etc.) to switch to a tty, my monitor puts up an error message: INVALID SCAN FREQUENCY Yes, this is displayed by the monitor itself. One thing I tried to fix it was to edit /etc/lilo.conf and change "vga = 771" to "vga = normal" (then run lilo). This had an effect but didn't fix the problem. The effect is that with this, the screen is completely blank, except for a blinking cursor at the upper-left corner. Basic question: Is it the responsibility of X to switch out of the video mode or is it the responsibility of the tty to switch into text/vga mode? I still have a few things to try, but can't do so until tomorrow so I thought I'd post this message to see if anyone had any ideas. Oh yes, I have a Matrox G450 video card and a Hitachi CM771 monitor. This all works fine on SuSE 7.0, which I have upgraded to XFree86 version 4.0.3 (same as what's in SuSE 7.2). Thanks. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen paulsen@texas.net
