Hi again, I've been haiving a problem with my keyboard. about half the time
that i log on from console, when I first log in, it says:
Warning: no access to tty (Inapppropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell.
I can't do lots of things when this comes on....I can't do full screen editing
for one.
What does this mean. If i log off, and log back in, i don't get this
message, and i get full control back. I don't understand why this is
happening? and at such random times.
I don't know if this is connected or not, but somethimes I can't get X to work.
If i try to start XFree-1.2, it will say
Cannot execute KBDFORCEASCII iocl: Inappropriate ioctl for device.
Thanx...alex...
