nv driver on Samsung X15plus: scrambled consoles



Hi again,

in trying to solve / work around the nvidia problem described in my
previous message, I tried the nv driver that comes with the XFree86
distribution. The X stuff looks fine, but the consoles become totally
messed up (a wild mess of flickering pixels) once the X server is
started. This is for switching from X to a console using Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6],
but even persists after shutting down X.

The system appears to be alive, though, Ctrl-Alt-Delete gives a clean
shutdown (as much as one can tell from the wild flickering console and
from the absence of any complaints upon the next system boot).

Is there perhaps any magic (e.g. an option to set in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4)
to keep the consoles in a functional state?

Thanks again in advance for any answers,
Jan
