I've got an HTPC with XBMC plugged directly to my TV. On normal behaviour I can switch between XBMC and the virtual consoles and I'm able to see them on my TV. The problem I'm facing is that if I restart XBMC (or stop it, do some work and then start it again), I loose the virtual consoles. If I try to switch to another console, the TV turns the image off as it isn't receiving any signal while returning to the X console brings back the picture to it.

XBMC is configured to suspend the system if idle for more than 10 minutes, that's why I need to stop it when I want to work with the terminal without being disconnected.

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d I have the following configuration files:

  • 11-dvi-monitor.conf
    Code:
    ##############################
    #    ZOTAC XORG DVI CONF     #
    ##############################
    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier      "DVI"
            ModelName       "Sony SDM-G96"
    EndSection

  • 12-hdmi-monitor.conf
    Code:
    ##############################
    #    ZOTAC XORG HDMI CONF    #
    ##############################
    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier      "HDMI"
            VendorName      "SAMSUNG"
            ModelName       "LE40B651T3W"
    #       VertRefresh     4
    #       HorizSync       2
    #       Modeline        ""
    #       Option          "dpms"
    #       Option          "PreferedMode"    "1920x1080"
    EndSection

  • 20-device.conf
    Code:
    ##############################
    #     ZOTAC XORG DEVICE      #
    ##############################
    Section "Device"
            Identifier      "NVIDIA"
            Driver          "nvidia"
            Option          "nologo"  "true"
            Option          "Monitor-HDMI"  "HDMI"
            Option          "DFP-1"   "DVI"
    EndSection

  • 50-remote.conf
    Code:
    ##############################
    #     ZOTAC XORG DEVICES     #
    ##############################
    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier      "PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus"
            MatchProduct    "PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus"
            MatchIsKeyboard "true"
            Option          "Ignore"    "true"
    EndSection

    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier      "Remote"
            MatchProduct    "Windows Media Center IR Transceiver"
            Option          "Ignore"    "True"
    EndSection

  • 55-keyboard.conf
    Code:
    ##############################
    #    ZOTAC XORG KEYBOARD     #
    ##############################
    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier      "keyboard"
            Driver          "evdev"
            Option          "XkbLayout"    "es"
            Option          "XkbVariant"   ",qwerty"
            Option          "XkbOptions"   "compose:ralt"
            MatchIsKeyboard "true"
    EndSection



Any idea where could be the issue preventing on using the virtual consoles?
