Hello NG,

i just bought myself a iiyama tft and tried to get it going under linux.
X is running, but it's impossible zu switch to another console.
everytime i try this, the sreen goes dark and i can't work with it any
more (even a shutdown is impossible then).
I was searching the web for the last to days, but couldn't find help
(starting to get frustrated).
Please, can anybody help me out?
