Here is the summary concerning the console display that hangs
on a SS20 with Solaris 2.4
Thanks to all of you who gave me the following possibilities.
I-
It also happened to me. However, you don't need to reboot. Login from
another machine and do the followin command
/usr/openwin/bin/kbd_mode -a
When killing the window manager try using this command:
kill -9 `ps -auxww | grep mwm | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
Note: ps -auxww is BSD. to use ps in BSD mode just type /usr/ucb/ps
mwm is the Motif window manager. Replace this with the window
manager that you are using.

II-
There is a known problem with OpenWin under Sol2.4 - sometimes the mouse
cursor goes away, giving the impression of a system freeze. The patch
for this problem is 101933-01. It's not in the standard patch set, but
all the 2.4 systems (Sparc10s mostly) I know have needed it.

III-
try either:
kbd_mode -a or -e

IV-
We have seen this a number of times. Try entering <CTL> C when
trying to re - login. This brings up the login as per normal. It
works for us.

V-
Add something to run "kbd -r" after X-windows exits to get out of raw
mode. Alternately (works under SunOS) telnet in and then run kbd.

VI- The strange characters is due to a baud rate mismatch...ttymon messedup.
Sometime a control-C will fix it....otherwise rlogin/telnet and kill the process
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon. It will produce a new and hopefully better one.
