I have gotten this too... if you can tyope commands / login etc excpet it looks AFU then try this login on the AFU Terminal then use the command "reset" I have found this fixes it well BTW I put reset in my .bash_logout so that the tty gets reset when I logout (unfortunatly it does it in xterms too with su etc... there should be a better way? relaly I only did it to clear the screen on logout) -Steve
