- Hi,
-
- I have a 310 VGX running 4.0.4. I have noticed
- that if I want to log in onto my machine using a
- dumb terminal attached to the serial port (ttyd1)
- that if I turn on the terminal, I can press return
- many times with no login prompt appearing.
-
- If I reboot, then the login prompt appears and
- everything is fine. I leave the machine on all
- the time, but turn off the console monitor and
- this dumb terminal.
-
- I don't want to reboot everytime I wish to
- use the dumb terminal on ttyd1. If I run
- ps -ef, it shows getty is running on ttyd1.
-
- Any suggestions ?
