After installing Intrepid Ibex I no longer can use the six virtual consoles. To clarify, I can switch to them and I think they're working correctly, but I cannot actually see any text on the screen. The screen is black, and about once every ten seconds (inconsistently) displays what it should in a single flash. This makes it difficult to use them, because commands like ls are completely useless, and I can't see if I make a mistake. Any ideas?
Here's my lspci:
I'm not sure, but my only thought is that my graphics card driver could be the problem. I'm using an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M with the FGLRX driver, which I know isn't flawless in Linux.Code:00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:04.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 10) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 IDE Controller 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge 00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc SB400 AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) 03:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) 03:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) 03:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515 Cardbus Controller 03:04.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller 03:04.4 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCI6411/6421/6611/6621/7411/7421/7611/7621 Secure Digital Controller 03:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
