"fsysopts /dev/cons" for example would tell you whether the translator is running. Or you could just do "ls /dev/cons/kbd" or so to see whether it created the nodes. Or simply "ls /dev/kbd" -- the symlink is broken until the devices are there. But if a sleep doesn't help, I doubt an explicit wait will. The console client doesn't really need long to start up. I suspect the problem is elsewhere. -antrik-
