I know. When I typed startx again, X started up. I examined error.log after that (in KDE's konsole), after I was finished seeing what would happen to X when switching consoles. Starting a second X session never came into the picture. (Notice that the second time I started X, I did NOT redirect stdout and stderr to the file error.log. I just typed startx.) > Lionel > --- James Ramsey <jjramsey_6x9eq42@yahoo.com> wrote: > > --- James Ramsey <jjramsey_6x9eq42@yahoo.com> > wrote: > > > when XFree86 (ver. 4.1.0) is set up to > > > use > > > the Wacom Intuos, switching to a virtual console > and > > > back to X causes X to appear frozen, sometimes > with > > > a > > > band of colorful garbage at the top of the > screen. > > > From what I can tell, everything still works, > but > > > the > > > graphics on the screen are frozen and I have to > type > > > things blindly. > > > > From what I can tell, switching virtual consoles > kills > > X.
