Michael,

In the console that has been affected, you can type (without speech
feedback)

reset

stty sane

and you are likely to be back in business just fine. You might want to
test this by deliberately knocking out the screen by catting a binary
executable to the screen. Then type reset, and stty sane, and see if it
restores.

Chuck
