Hello Everyone
First of all, I am a very satisfied user of Fedora 11. I installed it on a
brand new system with an Intel Xeon Quad Core processor and 8 gigs of RAM, and
everything has "Just Worked." Well, I have had intermittent issues with the
Intel onboard sound, but that's working pretty good.
My problem is that if I run "/sbin/telinit 1" from a terminal while in
runlevel 5, the normal messages appear and everything LOOKS fine, but then I am
dumped to a plain black screen with no apparent way of escape. I actually
have to reboot to get out of it...
I am running a Galaxy GeForce 9600 video card with the proprietary driver as
installed from the RPM Fusion repository. This is the only POSSIBLY video
related issue that I am having.
I was not able to find anything on google, the archives of this list or the
release notes about issues with switching from runlevel 5 to runlevel 1 (or
single user mode) Not that it wasn't there, but I couldn't find it...
