 Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2016 8:00 pm Post subject: Can't restore the X from tty alt+f7 alt+f1 |
 |
|
Hello,
I have the next issue: I can not back from tty to X-Window. The screen is black when I press alt-f7, and after that, can not even return to a tty. The screen end locked in black... 
I use systemd, nvidia-drivers-367.27 and kernels 4.1 && 4.6 with sddm or lxdm
I have no idea how to fix that. Please any help will be welcomed
Greetings |

| This is a known problem with nvidia-drivers, especially when you use fb drivers other than simplefb/efifb. |

Are you using the improved KMS support - provided in the newer Nvidia driver versions?
In particular the following kernel settings are from my currently booted kernel (4.6.0):
| Code: | egrep "_(FB|KMS)" /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y

Plus my nvidia kernel modules loading file:
| Code: | cat /usr/lib/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf
nvidia
nvidia_drm
nvidia_uvm
nvidia_modeset |
Plus my initramfs included drivers:
| Code: | cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/drivers.conf
add_drivers+=" ... nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm ... " |
Plus my kernel (grub2-efi) command line options:
| Code: | | ... nvidia-drm.modeset=1 ... |
Works reasonably well for me with Plasma 5, SDDM, and systemd. I've not tested this setup with LXQt - but LXQt tends to be more reliable than Plasma 5!!

Thank you very much bob,
But my system is not EFI.
I tried with the VESA fb instead the UVESA and the problem dissapears, but VESA is slow. UVESA works before |
