We just got a SparcStation-1 with one of those little sbus color graphics
cards, running the generic SunOS 4.0.3c. 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?
