Hi Walter, |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
thanks a lot for your reply :) |

I tried chvt 1 by hand and it generates the same "color flash" as |
| 29 |
the automatic switch to the console while shutting down my box. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I think, switching to the console as such isnt the problem here as it works. |
| 32 |
The problem is the switching process itsself. "To switch" generates |
| 33 |
that flickering colors. |
| 34 |
May be turning off brightness, switching and turning on brightness |
| 35 |
/may/ help...but how? |
| 36 |
|

Best regards, |
