Just a little problem I need to sort out. I'm running 1.0 NetBSD and I just replaced the video card (was mono) with a VGA. Now I get all kinds of little ascii text characters across the screen. Its seems to not clear the video buffer whenever the screen writes or pages thru a document. This has the effect of rendering my NetBSD box useless at the console. If anyone could help me out, let me know what I'm doing wrong and a possible solution I would be grateful. Ted tedh@thegroup.net
