Two questions: 1. Does this still happen if your kernel command line has vga=normal? (I'm assuming that you're using a framebuffer), and if you don't use a special font? 2. What happens if you blindly type "reset" or setterm -reset? Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
