I've had a similar problem on a machine since upgrading to RELENG_6 (now on 6.1-PRERELEASE #3). After logging in from another machine and killing the Xorg process the xserver restarts but I am then unable to switch to a text virtual console; monitor reports signal out of range. I was using the nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1). When I disabled that the problem appears to be less frequent but still occurs. On a second machine on which I did a fresh install of 6 (now on 6.1-PRERELEASE #1) I've had no problems but haven't tried the nvidia driver yet. Could it be the video hardware? I wasn't aware of kbdmux. I will see if that makes a difference. -- Rob Whamond c/- Post Office Phone: (03) 5728 6640 Stanley Mobile: 0438 286 640 Vic Australia 3747 E-mail: rwhamond@westnet.com.au
