Hello,
I've been trying out 2.0RC4/i386 and I've encountered a strange problem with X and/or wscons (I assume it's one of the two, or their interaction). When I exit from X (having started it from a VT), the screen goes blank, and switching between VTs doesn't do anything, the screen simply stays blank. I tried to reinitialize the ttys in question from a remote login, but that didn't do anything.
The same problem existed with 2.0BETA from late May, but I shrugged it off at the time. (This is my first foray into i386 with NetBSD, right now I happily use the macppc port.)
I searched the mailing lists and found a few references to similar problems in the past, the solution for one person (have X use wsmouse, in port-i386 August 7th 2003 messages: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2003/08/07/0006.html) doesn't help me, because I'm already set up that way. (I'm using a serial mouse with moused if that makes any difference though.)
Keyboard input still works, I can login at the console (blindly), and start X again, and back it comes, but the VTs will never return.
My particulars are attached below (everything's pretty much stock).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
David Gutteridge
