Using XFree86-2.1 and Linux 1.0 with a Cirrus Logic card,
Any time after I switch from the X session to another virtual
console, if a program in the X session puts output, the X server
dies with a segmentation violation.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks!
1. switching console from ttya to monitor/mouse -- ttymon dying
I just added an SBUS framebuffer card, and monitor/keyboard/mouse, to
an Ultra 1/170E server running Solaris 2.5.1 which has spent its life
so far with just a dumb terminal on ttya as a console. After 'boot -r'
(twice), I still have a problem where after exiting openwin, ttymon
does not restart on the console. Trying manually yields:
# /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` console login: " \
-T sun -d /dev/console -l console -m ldterm,ttcompat
push (ldterm) on /dev/console failed, errno = 6
There is only a plain /usr/lib/saf/ttymon process running with no command-
line args, both before and after that attempt to do init's job manually.
ttya is currently disabled and connected to an APC UPS, while ttyb has a
modem.
The /dev links and /devices stuff looks ok, but at boot time /var/adm/messages
mentions keyboard, mouse, and stdin:
which my other systems don't. It also lists the cgsix:
Jul 14 11:23:07 unix: cgsix0 at sbus0: SBus0 slot 0x0 offset 0x0 SBus level 5 sparc9 ipl 9
Jul 14 11:23:07 unix: cgsix0: screen 1152x900, single buffered, 1M mappable, rev 11
I've check the FAQ, man pages, answerbook, etc. and examined various /etc
config files in comparison with other similar systems here, but am stuck.
A workaround will be for me to just stay logged in to the console with
openwin forever, which would only be a few hours less per day that I do
now in person...:-)
