Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just noticed a recent development that bothers me... When I boot and get a login prompt, about two seconds after the prompt appears, the screen goes blank for a split second, three times. If I am typing my login name or password during the event, keystrokes are lost. The only change I made that would coincide with this change is that I installed the Xwindows distribution, which isn't properly configured to run as of yet. Does installing Xwindows make changes to /etc/rc or something to launch at boot time? I made no such changes manually.... Ken Marsh
