Driver screwing up tty's 1-6 - Page 2

jerickson314 · 06-14-04, 05:52 PM

Using the options mixer030 suggested worked for me! I think I now know why the problem occurred with the cards it did: Both of the cards that failed had three video outputs (the MX440 had an RCA TV-Out, an S-Video TV-Out, and a VGA port, the Asus FX5200 had a DVI, an S-Video, and a VGA). The card that consistently worked only had two (S-Video and TV-Out). The two XF86Config settings seem to fix the problem. I did not have to change the vga= option from SuSE's default. Thanks, mixer030!

i,

I have the same problem as The_Mercenary. I think this is related to using TV out. when i disable this in Xorg.conf, then i don't get this problem. all i want to do i clone to the TV, and not mess anything up!

i use SuSE 9.3,
nvidia 6200
with a gigabyte 7VAXP Ultra

Sorry was late at night, and i was getting confused! Got it sorted with the help of this thread!

Cheers all,

DPH
