Hey Group: A rather minor problems has shown up. The curser in <ALT>F1 (/dev/tty1) has disappeared. However, typing works and so does the gpm mouse curser. Re login doesn't fix it. Obviously, reboot would. Any ideas?

You could try running "reset". That usually works for setting the tty properties to "factory defaults"
Thanks for the suggestion but it also remains missing. "reset" did clear the screen and position the curser at the top of the page. All other tty# work correctly. Anders Johansson wrote:

'stty sane'. If that doesn't do it maybe you accidentally unset $PS1 ?. Try 'export PS1='$ '. -- -ckm
