Solution:

Thanks to the overwhelming response from the list below who suggested the

solution to remotely login to the affected system and execute

"/usr/openwin/bin/kbd_mode -a". Thanks to:

Also another solution offered was to execute "stty sane" at console but I'm

not sure if this works yet as the console is already "locked" with those

garbages. But I'll still list this solution down. Thanks to:

The original problem:

Hi managers/gurus,

The console to the SunSparc20, running Solaris 2.6, is displaying garbages.

Each time I touch a particular key on the keyboard, a string of long weird

characters (like !@#${}R{{{[[[[[[ [-03UIHO} will appear on the console

screen. The console is not running OpenWindows or CDE. I encountered this at

least 3 times now, I believe caused by our CAD applications.

The only way I can fix this problem is to remotely connect and reboot the

system.

Is there any other way to fix this irritation?

Thank you very much.
