I don't have this problem on 2.4.18, but I did on 2.5 kernels. On my box, it had something to do with the display manager (kdmh). When I boot to runlevel 3 and run startx manually (without kdm) I have no virtual console problems. That's my workaround for now. I don't know what causes the problem. If anyone else has an idea to share, that'd be great. viel glueck, eric -- "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
