[comp.sys.sun] problem: X on color sparcstation

era@niwot.ucar.edu (12/06/89)

We've noticed this small but annoying problem on color 4c/60s here: after
you've booted your station, entered X, and exited X, the regular console
display turns to pukey-gray barely-visible characters.

Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?  I'm only asking
because I'm too lazy to manipulate a mountain of manuals.

Thanks for your help,
Ed Arnold	era@ncar.ucar.edu

The clear_colormap program will reset your colors back to something more
reasonable.
