X not resyncing
Recently upgraded 2 Debian boxes to stable/woody. Both are identical
machines, both have Trident CyberBlade video built on the mobo. X upgraded
and runs great on both machines, but if while in an X session you ctrl-alt-F?
to a console, then come back to X, the monitor loses sync. Doing an
ctrl-alt-backspace instantly restores sync and restarts the Xserver and seems
to be the only way to get X back talking to the monitor. Not a show stopper,
but a hassel having to remember to log off X, or at least not have anything
critical open, before going to a console, as kick starting the server seems
to be the only way back in. Any suggestions appreciated!
