Good Day!!
I frequently get a garbage vt after using minicom with some certain remote
systems.
There is a shell script called fixvt.sh that I found at sunsite, it fixes
it right up for you, you just have to trust your typing, because you enter
the command on the "crazed" vt.
It's a teeny little thing so I've included it here for anyone who might
need it.
#!/bin/sh
# fixvt 1.00
# Fixes console corruption from vt bombs and the like

if [ -r /etc/?getty ]; then
DAG=/etc/?getty
elif [ -r /sbin/?getty ]; then
DAG=/sbin/?getty
elif [ -r /sbin/?getty ]; then
DAG=/sbin/getty_ps
elif [ -r /sbin/?getty ]; then
DAG=/sbin/getty_ps
elif [ -r $1 ]; then
DAG=$1
else
echo NO GETTY FOUND -- PUT GETTY ON CMD LINE
exit 1
fi
cat $DAG
echo c
clear
echo Display restored.
Hope someone finds this as useful as I have.
