Hello.
Since about 3 weeks I have some problems with TTY.
The biggest one is usually after resume (I'm not sure here, it seems to happen rather randomly), I can't switch to TTY at all. just get a blank screen. I can go back to my X session just fine with Ctrl-Alt-F7(or F8), but when using Ctrl-Alt-F1 (...F6) I get back to a blank screen. This is an issue when I want to restart my WM, or for whatever reason. I'm using nvidia drivers (latest), and the problem appears wether I'm using a login manager (GDM) or not. I can't find a log file that would tell me the exact issue, so I'm posting here...
The second one, is when I login in a TTY after booting, it takes around 30 seconds to bring me to a bash prompt after I enter my password. Trying to login to another tty won't work until the first login is "done". I've been following this thread on gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-86 … art-0.html but it's not solved yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What is the output of `cat /etc/inittab` and `pgrep *tty*`?

pgrep *tty* gives me the error: Invalid preceding regular expression, but here's ps ax | grep tty:

Someone on IRC told me it might have been my grub kernel line, specially the "vga=891" part. Removed it, but the issue is still happening. I'm using latest nvidia-drivers.

oxez, you can fix your first issue by installing uvesafb.
