The "ESC c" does the trick, but where does it come from, the kernel in verbose ??

What do you mean by "does the trick" ? What do you mean by you "put that in"? ESC[c is just a request to report the device code (i.e. get terminal type); I wouldn't expect it to change any output attributes.


No, I mean <ESC>c, NOT <ESC>[c        ---> or "^[c" in vim

A test on your gnome-terminal:

echo "\033[30;40m"; echo "black on black"; read; echo "\033c"; echo "normal again"

Ah, ok -- that's a key combination that your terminal recognizes as "reset all attributes", then. Sounds good.

  Thanks,
