I think that you may have put your finger on the problem here. I used to run |
| 16 |
startx from the console - now run xdm. So it may have been that it worked |
| 17 |
back then because I would scroll up before leaving the console. However, I |
| 18 |
seem to recall that it also worked with VT12. May be I'm wrong, not sure. |
