Re: bug in console login..

That's interesting as I've never noticed this happening.

On my laptop which I run in framebuffer mode so the screen fits the monitor, instead of a small (or worse a stretched) screen. If the login fails, I simply get another login in prompt. If I let it set a bit, the login times out and refreshes the screen where everything looks fine. I am only able to verify this on vc2 since I am currently logged in on vc1.

Re: bug in console login..

i run in frame buffer mode too (tdfx) but as i wrote in the bug tracker, if my login fails the login prompt don't show the correct information..

my hostname shows n

and my console shows l

so the login prompt looks like this:

-----
Arch Linux (0.4)             (n) (l)

brujita login:
------

and the right thing should be:

----------
Arch Linux (0.4)            (brujita) (vc/1)

brujita login:
------------

i don't know why.. i'll try to fix it and post a solution..

please everyone who read this check if has the same little problem

later!!
