Firstly, it'll happen if your system is set up to start the X gui (still a possibility, but not likely since you said you noticed an "init level 3" message). Secondly, it'll happen if something's displaying an error message after the login prompt has been written. If it's this latter case, then pressing enter again should get the login prompt back. Before doing that, try scrolling up with the braille display to see if there are any error messages. >However, the advance bars stil do not work >consistently, the window left, dot 3, and window right, dot 6, do not work >at all. Sometimes when I press ther right end of the advance bar it actually >seems to skip back a few lines. It may only appear to be that way as you may be making an incorrect assumption regarding what's on the screen. Try going to the top-left of the screen, and then working your way downward in order to see a logical progression of what was written to the screen. You can even use shift+pageup to have a look at what's already been scrolled off the top of the screen. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
