First, I would like to thank everyone who replied so quickly to my hanging console problem. Everyone responded with the answer being using "kbd_mode -a". However, I've tried that, and it still doesn't free the console. I've telneted over to the system that has the hung console, and I ran that command, and it doesn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?.....Thanks, Steven. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Sakata (University of Hawaii Computing Center) Internet: steven@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu BITNET: steven@uhunix.BITNET

Did you try using clear_colormap in conjunction with kbd_mode -a? You'll have to press return to get a response. (clear_colormap is a standard sun thingy) regards...

Usually I solve this problem by running
xinit;kbd_mode -a
from a rlogin or telnet session. Then X starts on the console and a
xterm appears. In this window I type exit, the X servers shuts down
and all is O.K.
Hope this helps.
