Odd X problems, see what you think. Very Open to suggestions

[knightmare]

Using
Slackare 9.1
XFree86 4.3
Nvidia GF4 MMX 440
19" Samsung SyncMaster 955DF

Here's the problem. Linux boots up normal, i get a login prompt, login and type "startx" KDE loads and all is fine. Everything apears normal...

Now, if i hit CTRL-ALT-Fx to login another terminal, the screen is just scrambled dots on the screen and unreadable. It is Not locked up, i can "guess" at what im typing and start/kill programs from there. So it's not locked. Just scrambled...

I hit CTRL-ALT-F7 to return to KDE and everything is fine. When i Shutdown KDE, the screen is dots and all scrambled.... What gives?

I have tried about every Linux Distro there is in this last year, and this only happens in Slackware.

I have tried loading other Windows managers and the results are all the same, tried Gnome,Ice,and Blackbox.

I have reinstalled the nVidia driver 3 times now....no change

Here's a snippet of the XFree86Config file...

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension

# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

EndSubSection

Doesnt SOUND like a display problem...sounds like something else...i could be wrong....have you tryed to completly reinstall? and it could also be to LILO bootloader come to think of it...because in the lilo bootloader it gives you a bunch of display options...perhaps this is whats causing it. you could also try 9.0
