Try loading a different screen font--maybe your video adapter's default font is not so great. You can do this with vidcontrol(1), or you can do it right from sysinstall, under Configure, under Console. > Also, in this mode, the system will not respond to the keyboard arrow > keys or the mouse. I've tried changing keyboards but no difference. > Any ideas? Try changing your keymap. You can do this, as well, in the Console configuration menu of sysinstall. Choose the keymap that most closely matches your keyboard type. The default one fits most standard North American keyboards. If you're logged in remotely, none of the above applies. Check your terminal type setting (echo $TERM). It is probably a problem with your shell client's terminal emulation. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
