When you push Ctrl-Alt-F3...1...2 to switch to another console nothing happens. The sreen just goes black and
you can't come back to whichever one you started with. The only fix so far is the dreaded reset button on the front of my case.

When I created a user after finishing with the install.I have logged out and history repeated itself with black screen instead of a graphical
login. I confirmed that it was a regular occurrence every time you log out.

I have checked my xfree86 version and it looks up to date. I am more and more leaning towards video problem in the is case. i845G driver is just a slightly revorked i810 driver so I just hope I find a spare nvidia GF4 Ti4200 on my doorstep left by a stranger :).
