using -a 3 reinitializes the screen/(video adapter) badly, showing white and then slowly and unevenly fading to black: probably the melting screen you mentioned

It does respond to stuff in that state (no crash), like sysRq commands, or rebooting with ctrl-alt del (after switching to a vt)

so I guess there is a pattern :)

Ok, just because i'm curious: does "-a 3" also lead to a kind of "melting
screen"-effect as on my Tecra 8200? (make sure to try this without important
stuff open, since i think the machine will crash with it). I'm looking for
a pattern here, since machines that fail with "-a 3" and actually need "-a 2"
are rather "exotic" :-)

Thanks for testing and reporting!
