- We have a Sun Sparcstation 2 running X11R5.
-
- Periodically students manage to "lose" the console--I cannot get the
- console to respond, even though there is a getty running, even if
- I kill/restart the getty. This is not like the problem solved by
- typing "/usr/openwin/bin/kbd_mode -a"--I get *no* response from the
- console keyboard rather than simply having every keypress translated
- into a return.
-
- I'd swear I've seen this problem and it's solution discussed before, but
- it doesn't seem to be in the FAQ, and I'm lost. If someone could tell
- me if they know of a solution, I'd really appreciate it.
