by Occasionally, the auto-repeating of characters ceases to function
on one of the virtual consoles. I've entering reset at the prompt,
killing the agetty process and restarting it but all to no avail.
stty -a on the "broken" vc shows exactly the same result as on
fully-functioning vc's. The only way I can turn the repeat back on
is to reboot.
I've had this problem with all the kernels I've used (1.0.8, 1.1.59,
1.1.89, 1.2.0-1.2.5). Is there any solution short of rebooting?
Is there a new version of agetty that I should download? (I'm using
the version that came with Slackware 1.2).
