[arch-general] Cannot see tty after starting X
Hi, I am unable to see the ttys immediately after starting X. Neither the original tty from which X was started nor the other unused ones seem to be visible. I have an Nvidia graphics card and I have tried using both the nouveau as well as the proprietary nvidia driver - but neither seem to work. I had faced this problem earlier with nouveau but the nvidia driver used to work perfectly fine. Has anybody else faced this issue? -- Aurko Roy GPG key: 0x20C5BC31 Fingerprint:76B4 9677 15BE 731D 1949 85BA 2A31 B442 20C5 BC31

I downgraded to xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.1-1 and the ttys are working again. I guess the latest update (1.0.2-1) is buggy. -- Aurko Roy GPG key: 0x20C5BC31 Fingerprint:76B4 9677 15BE 731D 1949 85BA 2A31 B442 20C5 BC31

I switched from my on-board ATI to an PCIe NVIDI card. At the moment I struggle with issues regarding to real-time audio and MIDI. In the past I used nv and nvidia with other distros and older kernels and I had no issues. Nouveau didn't work in the past. At the moment real-time using nv, and nouveau doesn't work as needed and nvidia-rt doesn't work. I'm undecided what I'll try the next. Perhaps I'll remove the NVIDIA card and test if the ATI is the better choice at the moment. I also will compare Arch with other installs on my machine. At the moment NVIDIA for my Arch Linux is a PITA. First I had issues to switch back from nouveau to nv. Hopefully switching to ATI and as the case may be, switching back will be easier. Regards, Ralf
