I can confirm the blank virtual terminals once the GUI is started. I upgraded a Dell w/ the 82865 video today. At least X seems to be working well.I've installed FC4 on my work machine three times and I have an odd problem. During setup (and also after setup), after X goes up , all the text consoles disappear. If I switch to consoles 1 to 6 , I get only a black screen. No login prompt or anything else.
I know that mingetty is running (I even tried to killall -TERM mingetty
and I got new processes running , but it didnt solve the problem). Also , nothing strange on the logs..
Any ideas?
The complete specs: Pentium 4 , using UP kernel
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P DRAM
Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
There is a bug submitted with the alias green-border which probably relates to the blank VT, blue border, wrapping text and discolored text.
I didn't try the patch (Actually replacing binaries of one X verion with the binaries from an FC3 version)
There is a bug report for FC4. I added a "me too" and added myself to the CC.
