From: Chris Royle <c@zeus.royle.org> Subject: Exiting X-Windows back to text mode Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1993 08:17:45 GMT
I may have missed something in the docs, but I don't think so.
When I exit X-Windows, every second column of text is forced blank on the
old screen. Even printing and typing new things doesn't cure the problem. I
have tried to switch VCs, but they all have every second column missing too.
The only solution is to reboot.
I am using mono X-Windows on a Trident card that appears to have a TVGA9000
chip on it. I use 640x480 resolution with the clock settings in the default
Xconfig.mono file.
On a separate point, Why won't the colour driver recognise this board ?
It says the driver only supports TVGA8900...
Further more (relating to X-Windows and that video card and things) :
1. Will upgrading from 4 to 8 MB of RAM make a significant difference to
X performance ?
2. How can I get my system to continue running terminals whilst I run
X (either from the command line or using xdm from rc.local) ?
3. If I put more memory on the video card, will this help the colour
system to run better ?
Cheers.
