[gentoo-user] Strange problems on the console

2005-02-13 Thread Christian Herzyk
Hello,

I started a new install some time ago. The system is running quite well so 
far. 
But since last week I have a strange problem.
When logged in as root on the virtual consoles the system hangs when I exit a 
program that takes the whole screen, like vi or mc. Unfortunately this is not 
consistent. Sometimes nothing happens (all works as it should) sometimes only 
the program hangs and I can still change the console.
This does not happen when I am logged in to a root console under X/KDE.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Thanks

Christian

the programs you mentioned use the ncurses library, you can try 
reemerging sys-libs/ncurses
just a shot in the dark
