It sounds like your keymap got hosed. Can you log in as Linux single? Or
into emergency mode? If so check your keymap, if I remember correctly it's
/etc/keymap. I am at work currently. If you want I can send you a copy of my
key map. Just send your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all!

I've got a weired problem.  When I press a<TAB> on a bash prompt, bash
lists all the files starting with a.  But the output is not nice and
orderly in 2 or maybe 3 columns, but instead it looks like this:
(attention: VERY long lines!)

What's going on here?  And also when I try to login on the console
prompt right after booting I cannot really type, ie. keys get all
messed up and when I press return I see a ^M, the line advances but the
output stays at the same column.

What in the world did I mess up?  Could it be that this has something
to do with that I installed / hooked up a new monitor?
