Sorry. I thought we had reached a (sort-of) conclusion. I get TONS of email, mostly work related, and I hate for threads to drag on. > Now, with syscons (NCONS=default) or pcvt and gettys on 4 consoles, > Alt-Fn goes back to the text console n (it shows normal X error output), > and Alt-F5 clears the until the system is rebooted. This is clearly > an X problem (XFree86-3.1-W32 ET4000/W32i). Of course. I had forgotten about the W32 aspect. It was someone else who had a similar problem to yours, and who had (also?) not used the Alt-F(n+1) approach. With _him_, it came right. I must have confused the issues along the way. This has been a bad month... M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
