I don't know if this is Gnome2 or Xfree86... I noticed tonight that the Gnome2 desktop terminal stopped working. When I open a terminal window, I do not get a command prompt. I have a flashing solid block cursor in the top left corner of the window. I tried various key combinations and nothing seems to get its attention. If I file/close or hit the "X" in the top right corner, I get kicked out to the command prompt, where I entered startx, or to the GDM2 signon screen. I'm reading this as an X server crash. I'm seeing some dumps for "Interfearance" but I do not think that is related. Nothing else appears to be broken at this point. The X logs are inconclusive. However, I'll include one that hints at a failure. "Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_SETMODE VT_PROCESS failed" I've had this happen to root and to my non uid0 personal account. Any ideas folks? --------------080604000700040606050709 Content-Type: text/plain; name="XFree86.1.log" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="XFree86.1.log" XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 3 September 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
