I built a new kernel with pcvt instead of sc0, installed it, read the man pages, etc... do you *really* have to type scon -cN to change screens with pcvt? ALT-FN did *other* things. :) By The Way ... guess what happens if you type "scon -c4" without ttyv5 enabled? Unless you know some magic incantation I could not find in the man pages, you have to hit the reset button to recover from that. I guess you could log in from some other source if that were configured *before* you did something stupid. :) Anyway, I rebooted, played around for a while, and then sat here typing esc-k-return (with bash set -ao vi that is) switching between four screens until my fingers cramped... came back later and did it another thousand times... it did not lock up with pcvt. I will try again later. Is that what you meant? -- Jan Isley <jan@bagend.atl.ga.us> If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some! -- Hobbes
