Yeah, the fbdevhw thing is what is supposed to allow VT switching. In general, if you have a graphics driver that needs it and turn it off, you can't go back to the text console. The exception is if you use xf86-video-scfb, which is unaccelerated but uses the kernel framebuffer. -Nathan On 06/18/15 14:20, Jason Bacon wrote: > > That helped, thanks.
