How can I bring back the console to the > internal video adaptor? Power up with a keyboard connected, wait for the keyboard to be initialised and then hit ^C and Enter a lot. SRM listens to the keyboard even when it's talking to the serial port, and this should cause it to break the boot process and return to the commandline, as well as switching video output on. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
