Re: kdm hanging on return from console screen
i had that problem to, and i attributed it to the hardware not liking
switching in and out of video modes when the driver is still active. (on
the other hand EXITING out of X and restarting it always worked fine) my
solution was to just not change consoles anymore :) or change vga cards
that better supports doing this(driver issue i believe). I also rebound
CTRL ALT DEL to go to runlevel 1, so i dont have to reboot when something
bad happens(unless something REALLY bad happens) it just goes to single
user and i ^D back to normal.
