Re: Black screen after exiting X



Rodolfo Medina composed on 2016-12-16 09:34 (UTC):

After logging out X (I have Openbox as window manager) with Ctrl-alt-Backspace
(or also mouse right-clicking), tty1 is completely obscured and then I have to
do Alt-F2 (so going to tty2) and Alt-F1 and then I see tty1.  In Google I found
many similar problems but of no help to me.  Any suggestions?

I wonder if this problem's root could be related to this?:

startx exits to black screen

> Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA NV5 [Riva TNT2 Model 64 / Model 64 Pro]
>	Display Server: X.Org 1.19.0 drivers: nouveau (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)

Cannot replicate here on Stretch running TDE on somewhat newer yet old GeForce:
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
           Display Server: X.org 1.19.0 drivers: modesetting (unloaded: vesa)

Note use of modesetting rather than nouveau. Maybe purging
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is worth a try?
