[LUG] Runlevel 3 Terminal Weirdness

 

Just recently when I drop into runlevel 3 terminal on my Debian
system the cursor disappears and output text spreads across the page.

eg.
CTRL-ALT-F1 from KDE into runlevel 5 terminal.
Login as root with visible blinking cursor.
init 3
Cursor disappears.
Asked to login again (which isn't normal)
login as root
Inputing a command produces output which doesn't
seems to have a CTRL/LF at the end of lines.

This only seems to happen after an init 3.

It's no real problem but I'm not the world's greatest typist and trying to
correct typing errors is a b*****.

Any ideas anyone?

Keith
