Screenblank wasn't run from /etc/rc.local, so I put it there, and ran screenblank. Screenblank ran fine yesterday. However, when I came in today, after I hit return on the keyboard to make the screenblanker go away, no text would show up. I was able to type stuff, and actually got logged in. As soon as I said "exec suntools", all the login text appeared on the screen for a moment before suntools took over the screen. When I quit suntools, I was back in this "no text display" state. Any idea what's gone wrong? Brian H.
