These seems to become a FAQ, depending on the problem it might help: - either using framebuffer, e.g. using a Kernel with framebuffer support and a boot option like vga=791, for details see the FrameBuffer-HOWTO http://tldp.org/ - or disabling framebuffer, e.g. using a boot option like vga=normal - as a workaround often it is possible to switch to a second console e.g. <ALT>+<F2> , because this effect is often only related to the first console - check if there are vga and video boot options (grub, lilo) try to disable them at least partly, look for options like ywrap, etc. - if none of the above helps, you may try to run a start-up-script, which contains the `clear' command Werner -- |=| Werner Heuser = Berliner Str. 122 = D-13187 Berlin = Germany |=| <wehe at tuxmobil.org> T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.org UniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed
