Hi,
=20
I'm running NetBSD 1.5.2 on a i386 architecture with a NVIDIA GeForce 2 =
video
card. I've seen a couple of messages in the archives pertaining to my =
problem
but was still not clear on the solution. I run startx and "X windows" =
runs just
fine. I have the "dimming" problem where, when I exit X windows, the =
console
is dimmer. Repeated exits (2 or 3) from startx cause the console to be =
too dim
to read.
=20
I'm currently running XFree86 4.0.3. Will upgrading to 4.1.0 fix my =
problem? or
do I need to also update the NVIDIA drivers?
=20
Any help would greatly appreciated!
=20
Thanks in advance,
Joe
