X server dies and kills terminals uppon respawn :(
ok, this has been an ongoing problem i've had. It has followed me from redhat 7.2 up to 9.0. Periodically my X server will stop responding, then suddenly die and respawn. After this happens if i try to switch to a virtual console, the screen is all messed up. The bottom half is still what was showing on the X server at the moment of switching, and the top half is divided into halves again with two mirror images of the text screen, now with unreadably small green text. What do i do if not reboot the computer when this happens. P.S. the X server respawns on terminal 8 when it was on terminal 7, taking the machine to runlevel 1 doesn't help, and the X server still runs like a charm.
I am running redhat 9.0 now with kernel 2.4.25, and have frame buffers enabled.
