Hello, does anyone else have this issue? When I switch from a gnome session with ctrl+alt+f2 (to switch to a new console) and I log in with my user account, which is the same as I am using in gnome, often I lose speech entirely and the console locks up. I am able to log into another tty but I have to use a different user account, or root, or else the same things occurs again. Also, i have read that gnome is put on tty 7 but mine seems to be on tty1 both when I start it with startx or use gdm. -- Thanks, Robert Spangler, B.A. in Urban Studies and Spanish spangler.robert at gmail.com
