Is this normal ?
Yes. You can tell syslog to display messages on the console. This is normaly done for messages of a certain priority. In my /etc/syslog.conf, there is: # Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in. # *.emerg * Maybe there is something similar in yours. Most programms have a key to restore the screen in such case (e.g a talkrequest is a similar case). In pine/pico this is CTRL-L.
