Hi.

I'm running SLS 0.98pl5 on my 486sx20 with Trident 8900 SVGA card.

My problem is that when I quit X from the 'exit' option of
twm's menu, I cannot get back to the command line. All I
get is a blank screen, although i can type and execute commands
eg 

su
<passwd>
sync
sync
sync
reboot

will reboot the machine and allow me to recover, but this is annoying!

Any Ideas?

TIA
