Hello! I have here openSuse 11.1 with X11 (using some nvidia graphics) and all patches installed. When I try to switch to some other virtual screen with Ctrl-Alt-Fx then the X Server freezes, meaning that not even pressing the numlock key on the keyboard causes the led to switch status. Remote access is still possible, nothing consumes CPU-cycles, no interesting messages in whatever logfile. And this even happens while xdm shows the login screen. This does not happen when I boot the machine without a Xen-kernel. Does this ring some bell? Any solution or any area where to search? Thanks Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I know it works for some/many people. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It is known to work quite well with Xen+Nvidia binary drivers.
