debian etch vterminals
hi all im recently trying linux out again, ive had some limited experience with it b4 but im running into a problem here with the new debian, i used the amd64 net install disk and the system is up and running with gnome however if i stop the gui or try to use any of the virtual terminals f1 - f8 the screen just goes blank and will not display anything. it seems that the machine is locking up..my specs are AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5200+ 2.6 GHz,2 gigs corsair dual channel, nvidia 8800gts 640meg, ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition ...anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
