It doesn't work for me. With gdm/X running, ctl+alt+bksp goes first to black screen then comes back with a new logon window. If I do it enough times, it reports to the virtual terminal "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that something bad is going on. I will wait for two minutes before trying again on display :0." and then it comes back on. If I use ctl+alt+F1 to go from GNOME to a virtual terminal, then try ctl+alt+backspace, it does nothing (except beep). Top reports that the processes that come up when I start gdm are XFree86, gdmlogin, and two gdm-binary processes. KILL seems to have no effect on them. There's got to be a way to shut GNOME and XFree86 down without rebooting! At least that works. I wonder if this may be the time to go to version 5 and the newer version of X? Jay O'Brien Specs: FreeBSD V4.10, GNOME package obtained today via the Internet using pkg_add -r gnome2.
