Re: Console: Laptop vs backlight-off problem
Cool, thx for that find!
I've played a bit, at first it was looking hopeless, after logging in
I'd get backlight=off and dead tty - couldn't even reboot since that
would cause full hang (though I could login via ssh, until I hung it via
reboot that is).
Discovered that a 'stty rows 50 cols 132' command was causing my pain
(as does the more conventional rows 50 cols 80). So I now have:
- 'video=uvesafb:640x480-8,mtrr:0,redraw' in my append statement
- 'uvesafb' added to /etc/modules
- that stty command commented out
- 80 x 30 console (really want my 50x80 back)
- backlight goes off on timer
- everybody comes back alive upon keypress
- screen/tty doesn't hang at login
Thx again!
