Has anyone else had this happen?
I was running slackware with kernel 2.0.12 and for no apparent reason users started complaining about black and white being reversed on their screens. I never had that problem in Linux or Win95 dialup networking. I recently did a total upgrade to the latest linux on tsx-11.mit.edu. Many of the other little bugs and buglets were cleared by this, but now the problem is even worse. I started using an old XT with Procomm+ that was showing the same reversing color problem...only now characters from
the previous screen appear on following screens along with intermittent white fg black background. Lynx is really bad now in that you can't keep trash characters from scrolling down the web page off screen, and the cursor doesn't line up with where it really is.
Pine is just a guessing game as to where you cursor is. I was hoping to resolv this with the upgrade...to no avail.
ALSO:
Just prior to this I had to do a shutdown -r now, and when it came to the point when the LILO prompt should come up...it now doe 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 ........to infinity or reboot.
I tried using a DOS boot and doing 'fdisk /mbr' , but no go..it still does the 0101010101 thing. Now I have to have a linux boot disk or lilo disk to boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
