Re: funky console output (Re: [aclug-L] HELP!!!)

haahaa...  wish it was that easy...

i don't know what changed recently, other than i installed Debian 2.1 on the
computer...  i am not sure if it is a certain program that runs...  i am using
Login.app with WindowMaker 0.53 compiled from source...  it didn't happen until
i started using either wdm or Login.app...  would they cause something like
this?  only seems to happen after i start an X session (via commandline or
runlevel)...  howver, it doesn't always happen when ran from the
commandline...  often (but not always) happens after an X crash or a Ctrl + Alt
+ Bkspc...  sometimes just happens if i Alt + Fx to another tty...

BOFH?
