PPC: Cursor slows down while editing at the console command line
Support knowledgebase (slow_cursor)
Applies to
SuSE Linux PowerPC: Version 6.4
Symptom:
The cursor will sometimes slow down desparately when you are working at the
command line of the console. Especially when using the history function of the
shell it may take several seconds for your keystrokes to take effect.
Cause:
This is due to a fault in the framebuffer which can be resolved
by deactivating the accelaration.
Solution:
Please enter the following (as root):
fbset -a -accel false
The option -a
applies the change to all virtual consoles.
Omitting this option would correct the problem at the current virtual console
only.
