I made it work by starting from one of telnet session from another machine. Well, everything works under X-Window, however when I close my X session, the PC console is still locked. So I had to start X again from telnet. I wish there are way or tool to refresh or reset the console so I do not have to reboot soon. I wonder how this resetting console should be done. Is there any place or documentatoins I can look at? BTW, I found kbd_mode(1) but not much effect on console itself(it's only for keyboard, isn't it?). Keyboard and screen works when 1) X is running a) I can switch to console using ALT+CTL+1, then back to X session pressing ALT+F4. However there is no login prompt or shell session visible on console when pressing ALT+F1, ALT+F2 or ALT+F3, and no response to keyboard in either virtual console. ------> Sail OZ Shigetoh Kumagai On Mon, 28 Dec 1998, Greg Lehey wrote: > You're probably out of luck here.
