>Description:
The logo screensaver kills compaq consoles. As soon as it is activated,
the console becomes unusable. Symptoms are "frozen character
columns as well as blinking strange characters and other oddities.
another sympton is that the logo screensaver itself does not work, the
screen just goes black instead
the same console and screensaver works just fine on the same hardware
under FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE (have not tested 4.10 yet)
aside from that the machine remains fully functional.
>How-To-Repeat:
install 5.2.1 on a compaq ML370 (G1) with RI board. Configure "logo"
screesaver on text console. wait.
>Fix:
uninstall 5.2.1. Install 4.9 :-/
