Alt-UpArrow not working and a framebuffer question

Hello, I'm using vesafb and have just noticed that pressing Alt-UpArrow doesn't echo the usual "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab ..." but instead behaves as if there were no Alt key pressed. Obviously there's a link between (vesa)fb and this problem. What do I do about it? I run a 2.4.16 kernel

fbset for all ttys?

2002-06-20 Thread andrej hocevar
I thought I was clever and added an init script for setting the concole with fbset. I've figured that "fbset -t 13334 144 24 29 3 136 6" yields the best results. But it affects only the first console -- I have to run the script every time I log in. Is there a way to make it permanent for all conso

This was posted a little while ago here by Vineet but I don't have the mail anymore. The idea was to add the line append="console=/dev/ttyN" to lilo.conf. I've tried to add it to grub (the right way, I suppose, without quotes and the "append") but the results were a little different: at boot up the

/etc/aliases problem

For some reason, I cannot send mail to root directly anymore -- and I know the cause; I've set up postfix to rewrite the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my real e-mail address, thus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since this rewrites *all* occurrence of the above, writing mail root results in mail to [EMAIL PROTECT

Lately I've been playing a little with sending mail to myself (great fun, that!:)). I'm using postfix and it works perfectly. I've found out that if I send mail using "sendmail -f foo -F bar root" to rewrite headers there's an effect I didn't plan: Here a sample header. sendmail -f "[EMAIL PROTECT
