As long as the vidcontrol screen saver (not X11, I'm not running X11 at present) has not fired the first time, everything is fine - I can work in alphanumeric mode. But when I leave the computer unattended for a while so that the screensaver switches to darken/blank the screen the first time, the machine freezes or at least cannot be woken up again so that the character screen shows up again. Anyone seen this or having a clue? Also not sure whether it is a splash screen issue at all, butr I thought so, since it would have come up earlier otherwise. -- Christoph Kukulies
