Hi Ian, thank you for your answer. I edited /etc/sysctl.conf and /boot/loader.conf, adding the parameter/values you've given me, and rebooted the machine afterwards, but it didn't change anything. As long as X is running, I can switch between the text consoles and X without any problem. But as soon as I quit X the screen wents black and is unusable until I do a cold boot. I can switch to a console and start X again, thou, but the text consoles remain unusable. Sorry for repeating the issue, but maybe I mislead you, because this is just one problem (at least as far as I can tell). Trying to update to a new BIOS version might a solution, I should check if there is anything newer available. I tried several configuration up to now, there are many location where you can download them. All of them had the same problem, so I'm not entirely convinced that this is an X configuration issue. But could you sent me your configuration, so I can give this a try? If it doesn't behave as my configuration does I might be able to locate the problem. Cheers Christian
