'Lo all, Every once-in-a-while when I'm switching back and forth between X-Windows on ttyv3, and my text terminals on ttyv0-ttyv2, I'll switch to a text terminal and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal lines. Makes it look like the screen is in perpetual strikeout mode and all the characters have disappeared. I try switching back to X, then back to each of the text screens, but it doesn't change. I try using scon to reset the screen, no go. I know commands are still working because I can see the cursor move accordingly as I type, I just can't see what I'm typing. To date, the only solution has been to pop over to an xterm and shutdown the system...not the preferred method. Anybody know a way to tell PCVT to reset itself?
