That IS strange. What happens if you hit either ALT-F1
or Contol-ALT-F1 (try also F2 instead of F1, for curiosity
sake)? (And which one works, if only one works)
What it SOUNDS like is that the display 'forgot' to
switch back to the virtual console 1 (assuming
you started from ALT-F1 console). But that's
weird.
If nobody else has this problem, I'll go install
LM8 on my laptop and my main machine at home (I've got
it on my soon-to-be firewall) and see if any of those
3 exhibit that behaviour...
