flashing cursor for tty

[helbent forleder]

Hi.:):)
I am using the netbook remix on an Asus eee 1000H. I have a strange problem that I've just recently noticed.
When I open a virtual terminal all that I see is a flashing cursor. I can type commands and they work, but I can't see what I am doing on the screen. :(
If I boot in recovery mode and I run repair on the X server, I can use the terminal normally (I can see everything) for that session only. The next reboot it's back to typing blind.
Any ideas how I should go about finding the problem and fixing it?
Here's the relevant part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-eeepc
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-eeepc root=UUID=419385a0-4b2e-43b6-807f-d2f3b785e872 ro quiet splash vga=771
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-eeepc
quiet

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-eeepc

Any ideas would be appreciated!:guitar:

did you change the font color in your terminal?

Not that I know of? Where do I find the configuration file?
