I've had that happen after running something that used the framebuffer for graphics, like links for example. Usually, a "reset" was enough to clear it up.

same problem here - also with ufed.
pure text mode, no x started before.
maybe a problem with ncurses? |

I also had this issue and still experience it if I run menuconfig from a pure console (i.e not in X, inside a terminal emulator). I am yet to find the cause of this, and also I'm fine now as run X. But I think I should share my previous experience so you might be a step closer finding the problem:
-A fresh x86 manual installation, from version 2006.1 minimal CD, doesn't have this problem. BUT after you do a emerge -e world on such fresh system problem appears.
-Compiling ncurses with or without unicode support has no effect. |

| I got this too before and I've figured out how to fix it. What I do is re-emerge ncurses and then everything seems to be fine. |

excuse me... what is ncurses? what is it for? i guess it's emerged as some foundamental dependence since I've never emerged it explicitly and at the moment I 've only emerged the bootloader - grub - dmraid and the kernel sources but my system has that problem. |

It's a library that basically handles all terminal related stuff for console apps. It's part of the "system" target, but to re-emerge it manually just do this:
| Code: |
emerge --oneshot --ask ncurses
|
It shouldn't pull in much of anything, maybe gpm.

i've tried with 'reset' and it actually would solve the problem but it's not permanent and should be done each time and for each console.
then I emerge ncurses that way but it didn't change anything at all. |
