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.
