with the following set: vidcontrol -t 120 -s fade i encountered the following: saver kicked in, i pressed left-ctrl, the screen brightness went up, and washed out every[?] display color but yellow. the background was visibly overdriven [black should not be dark gray], forground yellow was also overdriven. a blind reboot command rebooted the machine [kernel messages were displayed, in the same overdriven yellow [sync, reboot] [the only changes i made to syscons.c were the default normal and kernel colors]. i've been running the fade saver for a few days now, and this is the first time it's happened this way. if i have the time, i'll look at the fade saver code, but be warned that the possibility of this happening exists. at this point, the only solution i know of is a reboot. previously uptime less than 24 hours. 2.0-RELEASE. 3:44AM up 11 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 Fri Jan 6 03:44:17 CST 1995
