It could be a driver or > hardware conflict... I am using ipw2200 on kernel 2.6.22-rc4, with Intel's firmware; and you seem to be correct that it is a driver conflict, since switching VTs works fine while getting a network connection from a wired network. Thanks for the suggestion! Now where is the appropriate place to send this bug? I'm no longer sure the video driver is really involved, although I did not see this problem under the non-modesetting branch. Peace, Dylan
