Re: Q: Why Midhight Commander stopped working on text console?

[Greg Frye <gfrye@arb.ca.gov>]

I'm having the same basic problem except I don't have X to get to
Midnight Commander and I don't get any characters after starting MC.  I
have to go to another virtual console find the PID with ps and then kill
it.  I have to reboot to get MC to start working again.  I can't
correlate MC failing to start with other events and I haven't found a
way to get MC working again without rebooting (ouch).
