There is no console screen switching at all. Only the graphical screen is usable. Do you see this in snap2? There's a known regression in the kernel between snap2 and snap3 that could be related. Also, what hardware is this with? I believe i saw it with all snapshots, but not with the beta release. I am quite sure, that it happened with snap2. The problem appears on all our hardware platforms, which means they all have MGA G200e VGA controller. Can you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log{,.old} from after this happens?

I suspect this build will fix it: https://people.redhat.com/~ajackson/868353/ Please test, as those fixes are anticipated to be included in RHEL 5.9. yes, after updating to xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm and xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm the problem is solved. (In reply to comment #9) > yes, after updating to xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm, > xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm and > xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.1.1-48.100.el5.x86_64.rpm the problem is solved. Excellent, thanks. I was able to reproduce on xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.98.el5. Upon installing xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.100.el5, I was able to switch consoles and all reboot messages were visible.
