Thanks,<br><br>Will try a few things around these lines. I vaguely remember now the chvt trick I had to use on an old laptop with an nvidia GPU. I would have thought that nowadays, such things were history ... thought wrong ;)<br><br>J.<br><br><blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><warjamy@yahoo.com><br><br>A couple of things you could try:<br><br>- Typically you have several virtual terminals, one of which has your<br>X display on it, one has hte console, and the rest have a text login<br>prompt. These are what you can get to with Alt-F1, Alt-F2 ... Alt-F7.<br>This is distro specific.<br><br>In the suspend script, try changing to a console VT before suspend,<br>then back to X on resume. The commands you need are 'chvt 1' and<br>(usually) 'chvt 7'. Do this in a ssh or telnet session before you edit<br>the script to make sure you're doing it right.<br><br>If that doesn't work, you might need to
restart X on resume. Use something like<br>kill -HUP `pidof X`<br><br>If that doesn't work, kill X before you suspend, and then start it<br>again when you resume. How to do this depends on your setup. It might<br>be something like '/etc/init.d/gdm stop', or some other weird<br>incantantion.<br><br>Good luck. These problems can be a pain to fix.<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br>http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br></warjamy@yahoo.com></blockquote><br><p>
