With a generic VGA on a 386-25 that worked fine with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and Xfree86, since upgrading to 2.0.5R, I lose all the virtual terminals when X starts. I get a blank screen. I do get response to the keyboard. I can type "ls" in the blind and make the disk crunch away. I'm running the generic config file and using the 640x480 mode, etc, as I was before. About the only change I had to make was the mouse hardware port to cuaa1 and turning on the 3-button support. I'm using the Mono server. Since the problem seemed to be linked to 2.0.5, I thought I'd ask here first before bugging the XF86 newsgroup. Besides,it's the virtual terminal windows that go away. X works OK! Same config setup on my 486 with Diamond Speedstar works fine, but , darn it, the old 386 ran X OK with 1.1.5.1, and I didn't lose the virtual windows. Any ideas? THanks-- -Jim Durham
