Subject: [XFree86 1.2] herc driver blanks non X VC's
Date: 18 Feb 1993 05:50:48 GMT

Hello,

I never imagined I'd see X and open look on my lowly 386sx 20 4MB
hercules-equipped machine! X started right up under Linux with no fuss,
but all the text mode VC's go blank once X kicks in. I know they work,
since I can start a process in a VC and observe it from the X VC.
Switching via A+Fx and C+A+Fx works fine, too. You just can't
see anything :-)

Has anyone else encountered/solved this problem?

BTW, I'm really impressed with the job these guys have done! Who'd have
thought that such a big system would install so smoothly! It's not
even as slow as I'd expected :-) (once everything gears up).

Thanks,

David.
