Also, the server flag:

Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"

Doesn't help getting this solved...

Input devices have nothing to do with video devices. I think it's a conflict between your framebuffer console and xorg which causes this problem. Framebuffer consoles and Xorg videodrivers have always been a problem here, it's two direct hardware access things competing against eachother. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, it wasn't a problem before the last update to 1.5.3. I had the following uncommented in the device section:

# Option "UseFBDev" "true"

Now that I have commented it out, I still got the problem (of course after rebooting since I can't restart X). Moreover, just in case, I also removed atyfb (modprobe -r, and then startx), and the problem persists...

So I'm not sure if the problem is a frame buffer one.

OK, I'm done with trials, no luck... I filed a bug then, 12327...

thanks,

I missed one trial, removing the vga mode from boot parameter (which activates vesa FB Ibelieve). When doing it the problem vanishes...

I requested a bug closure, hopefully it'll close...

I was left with with pretty big fonts at the console though, which I don't like. I was using terminus v16b under 1024x768 before, but that's too big now. I tried v14b, but that didn't make a difference, and v12n is not supported, it fails... So I tried alt-8x8, and I like the size, but I don't like the font which at this size looks a bit ugly... any recommendations are welcome...

Thanks,

Hmm, it looks like I can't set a font smaller than the 16, since I lose the fonts when closing X... :(

It took me a while, but I finally figured things up. I don't understand why I never needed this stuff before, but actually now I got 1280x1024@75 in my console with terminus font v20b, looking nice, and I can go back/forth from X... Here are my settings: /etc/rc.conf MODULES=(fuse r8169 slhc atyfb) /etc/modprobe.conf options atyfb mode=1280x1024@75 That's pretty much what solved things, :) Thanks, -- Javier
