[K12OSN] Issues with two terminals - xserver fails / Matrox Millenium II

[Michael Elliott]

Petre -  I am not able to use Ctrl Alt F2.  Nothing happens.  I even 
tried just the sequence Ctrl, followed by Alt, then F2, just get garbage 
characters.

Barry - I tried swapping out the video cards.  The one from the working 
system did not help in the one's that do not.  I have reset the BIOS on 
the one that is not working.  I checked the settings compared to the one 
that does not work and everything looks the same.   The only thing I did 
not check is the power management of the bios.  I did have to enable 
Plug in Play OS, was one difference.    I also double checked the 
dhcpd.conf file and the MAC and Static IP are correct and the machine is 
receiving the address.  I recreated the lts.conf section for this one 
machine to match the one that is working.  I even tried using a PCI 
Matrox Millennium II which did the same thing. 

I did change the XSERVER equal to XF86_SVGA (both with the PCI and AGP), 
also did not work.

Guys, I am getting quite frustrated with this.  I hope I can get this 
solved soon or I will have to replace the computer with another system.

Any advice appreciated -

Mike
