[plug] Help with X logon display settings please?

[Scott Middleton]

Might not help but i have problems with some distros running framebuffer
and  XFree with appropriate drivers.

So if you are running a console in vesa framebugger just turn it off in
lilo. vga=normal i think.

This happens to me with NVidia (I wont use anything else) Linux with
framebuffer on Debian and  Mandrake. It doesn't happen when i log on
just when switching to console or restarting the Xserver.

Good Luck
