It has a tendency to leave the xdm login or any open xterms in an inconsistant state if you switch from X to a VC and back to X, but it's better than an NMI. xdm can be fixed with a control-c and the xterm must be closed (it behaves as thought the control key is being held down. Those on the sparclinux list: if anyone has any ideas on what the problem is, I'm be happy to try an code a solution. Also: is cvs on vger broken? I just moved to a new network setup, and I don't think it should have broken anything, but I get: (507) root:sparki:/usr/src/linux# cvs login (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: connect to vger.rutgers.edu:2401 failed: Connection refused Is the password still "cvs"? > Then, I stopped using my sparc for a while for unrelated reasons.
