Same here on a 560e. I've tried both XFree and AcceleratedX, and both refuse
to display anything until I've <alt><f7>ed twice. Even stranger - if I use
<alt><f1> to return to tty1 I have to <alt><f7> twice again to get it to
display. Anyone have ideas on what has changed between 5.2 and 6.0 wrt X
displaying?
TIA
