Thank you for fixing that. I think I caused the problem by not highlighting text before clicking the 'url' button.

Sorry for the problem.  :oops:

Good morning, stressed people out there

You see, that i have running fglrx?

That's why i do not see the problem.

if somebody finds the adequate glx-alternate-fglrx package version (0.2.90) from the experimental repository, then there is no problem.
Not everybody is using experimental either.....

Since my ti 4890 pass away i'm a happy user of a ten years old passive nvidia 7300gt. Wow, what a card. Faster then the 4890 with linux, not so noisy and the evil blobs work perfect

After an installation of the amd fglrx drive 13.4 (i followed this advice: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=312471#p312471) i've some positive results:

- Standby finally works
- it's getting definitively less hot
- battery is lasting way longer

(And that's great! Before, and above any kernel newer than 3.2, there were practically not any reasonable powermanagement which is not so fun on a laptop mad ).

BUT: I lost the console Ctrl-Alt-F1 thru F6! They result in dark, dead window. Although, Ctrl-Alt-F7 brings me back to X. The same happens if i'm calling smxi or if i choose Rightclick->Exit->Logout.

Is there a simple, harmless way to get the consoles back?

Trying the other existing kernels (which worked but also without any reasonable powermanagement), starts but with some, ugly, screen distortion. When i try to get into the console from there happens the same like with my "main" kernel whereto i installed the fglrx-driver.

My laptop is a Samsung 535U3C running kernel 3.9-4.towo-siduction-amd64 (#1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 25 15:50:25 UTC 2013) & crunchbang waldorf tracking sid.

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS. Sorry if it's hurting i'm using crunchbang.
