Switching to console makes X run amok
Hi!
It is a minor problem, because I very seldom use the console, but then
it is annoying. When I switch from X to console via Ctrl-Alt-F1 I
cannot switch back with Ctrl-Alt-F7. Hitting C-A-F7 the screen remains
black an the Keyboard is dead. It is only possible to log in remotely
and kill the xserver.
With top I found out, that when I switch to console my X-server in the
background runs amok, using 99% of the CPU.
I have no other problem with X on my machine. Does anyone encountered
the same problem?
On a mixed slink/potato system I am running:
xdm 3.3.3.1-3.1 X display manager
xserver-i128 3.3.3.1-3.1 X server for Number Nine Imagine 128
