I didn't see anything on the > XFree86 site, and I don't know if this is a FreeBSD or X issue. If you try swapping to a text console, then back, does the screen recover? If you swap to a text console before 'zzz'ing, can you swap back to X and have it work? Ultimately, it's a BIOS issue (the BIOS is expected to restore the display hardware state). It may be feasible to work around it by having syscons install an apm hook so that it returns to the console before allowing the shutdown. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
