And since the release 2.0 I am having one problem with XFree86 3.1.x. I start X and I can work fine with it. But when I want to switch to another screen (using ctrl-alt-Fx) or I exit from the window system I don't see anything on the screen everything is black. I can type commands, but I cannot see the screen. The solution is to reboot. Has this been fixed, or has everybody experienced this behaviour? I am using a Tseng ET4000 SVGA card. I'm seeing the same behavior with the 950412 snapshot, ET4000/W32p card, but only when ctwm is running. This is a pain because the card doesn't come up quite right initially (mouse droppings) so I need to switch back and forth to the console once after starting X (some initialization problem, obviously). This is with the pcvt25 console driver. Tim
