sun x r undeletable console messages we have an old sun here which gets occasional use when x r is started on it any console messages during startup are undeletable after x is fully started we run an xterm as the console the problem is that any messages that arrive before this starts go to the plain console refresh window fails to remove them the messages are a real pain since they sit in the middle of the screen obscuring anything else below them at boot time the lists two framebuffers dev cgfour and dev bwtwo we re running x in color and i suspect that maybe the offending messages are on the b w framebuffer and thereby not getting deleted my question is has anyone else seen this and is there an easy way to get rid of these messages please reply by e mail to hughm inmos co uk hugh mcintyre inmos ltd bristol uk btw sunos x r mwm ps i know i can redirect output of the relevant commands to dev null i m looking for a more general solution
