Hey there,
Has anyone noticed that terminal console mode goes off strangely
after quitting from Xfree 1.3? I'm using an ATI GR. Plus 2 megs.
I've used this comfortably with Xfree 1.2 without any problems
and am using the same Xconfig file for X. 1.3.
By strange, I mean that I get about 20 vertical bars vertically
positioned throughtout the screen. It is completely white except
for the black background of the console terminals. It doesn't matter
which console I switch to. It's all the same. Of course, text doesn't
show up at all after this. But the computer isn't "hung". I can still
type and get things done just as long as I don't screw up long enough
to know what I'm typing.
The strange part is that it seems to go off in this awry mode AFTER
I quit from XFree 1.3. Switching to a virtual console while
running X, all text displaying is perfectly fine. It's only after I
quit that the screen goes berzerk.
Is this a problem people are experiencing with the ATI Gr +/pro?
Thanks for your help.
Gene
