But I indeed have ADDED it back in, and VT's are still working!! So that's what I mean. How can removing nomodeset fix the VT's probelem, adding it back in does not break the VT's - i.e. they are still working. All that begs the question: what's the relationship between nomodeset and Xserver's modus operandi? > Whether the speed of your workspace switching is or isn't, I have no idea. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
