I've recently switched back to using syscons after successfully running pcvt for several months and have noticed something strange. Sometimes when I quit X and type anything at the console, any keys that I press seem to be read as if I were holding the control key down, eg if I press 'p', the last command I typed appears at the prompt, pressing 'l' clears the screen and 'd' logs me out! This doesn't seem to happen if I type commands at another virtual terminal where I am logged in as myself - in fact, switching from the console to such a vty seems to clear the condition. It seems to happen intermittently - like all the best bugs, it usually only occurs when I'm not looking for it 8-) BTW I've seen this with both sh and bash as the root login shell. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
