[SOLVED] X freeze after switching vt

During my migration from Chimaera to Daedalus I have lost the xserver settings.
Now I run X on the first virtual terminal, everything works well.
But after switching to another virtual terminal I can not go back: I see a black screen and all I can do is kill X from another terminal.

I am not familiar with the X so please help me with this problem.

Re: [SOLVED] X freeze after switching vt

You could try updating xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common from daedalus-proposed-updates. That might resolve the VT switching issue.

Thus, add to sources.list:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-proposed-updates main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-proposed-updates main

Then run (as root)

# apt-get update
# apt-get install --no-install-recommends -t daedalus-proposed-updates xserver-xorg-core ]xserver-common
