It seems to be a framebuffer thing - starting with vga=normal doesn't set it off, but vga=791 does. (using the vesa framebuffer on an ATI Rage Mobility with kernel 2.4.4). Switching VTs, starting X, or 'reset'ing the terminal all seem to fix the problem. A simple 'clear' doesn't seem to do the trick. It would be nice if there was an option to disable that graphic entirely, or replace it with a user-defined pixmap... -b3 -- Brent Bourgoine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Geek Code Version: 3.1 G d- s+:+ a- C++++$ UBL+++$>++++ P+$>+++ L++$>++++ E$>++ W+++$ N++ o?
