From: "Jacob Morzinski" <jmorzins@MIT.EDU>
System name: x15-cruise-basselope.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.2.9 (with mkserv)
Display type: afb
What were you trying to do?
Change a keyboard on a Sun Ultra. (Or demonstrate how to
use Stop-A to reboot a machine, and then back out and
type "go" to resume.)
What's wrong:
The monitor is left with "Type "go" to continue", etc,
displaying on _top_ of the windows managed by Xsun.
xrefresh turns the text from white to cyan, but leaves it
there.
What should have happened:
There should be _some_ way to clean the screen back up,
short of killing the X server.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Jhawk poked at the machine a lot, with afbconfig and
other fun things. He couldn't find a way to fix the
problem.
