[comp.sys.sun] screenblank on color SS1

brian@natinst.com (Brian H. Powell) (09/30/89)

We just got a SparcStation-1 with one of those little sbus color graphics
cards, running the generic SunOS 4.0.3c.  Screenblank wasn't run from
/etc/rc.local, so I put it there, and ran screenblank.  Screenblank ran
fine yesterday.  However, when I came in today, after I hit return on the
keyboard to make the screenblanker go away, no text would show up.  I was
able to type stuff, and actually got logged in.  As soon as I said "exec
suntools", all the login text appeared on the screen for a moment before
suntools took over the screen.  When I quit suntools, I was back in this
"no text display" state.  Any idea what's gone wrong?
