virtual terminal

[elnaw]

Hi All,
I am running FC-4 and I am having a problem with all virtual terminal. I can switch between virtual terminals using ctrl+alt+f[1-6] but I can see only X-window in the background. All virtual terminals react to the keyboard but I don't see what I type as the X-window stays in the backgound. when I switched to init 3 then all virtual terminals work. Please help as virtual terminals are so important.

yum --enable=development -y update xorg-x11

Reboot the system and then hit ALT CNTL F1 - F6

thanks a lot Fedorajim i had the same problem since a fews weeks now. i type your command and everything works fine.
pvr you must add the good repository in /etc/yum.repo.d. see the repositories list here http://www.fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/FedoraNEWS.ORG:Community_Portal
