Greetings, list members.... I run 12.2-release-p10 r370449 amd64 with an Nvidia Gforce 1050Ti. On Sept.26, I updated to the newest Nvidia driver. Ports were also updated on that day and more than once over the last month. What follows is a description of the state of things for about the last month. Startx works; Windowmaker works; as do all programs. As indicated in the Subject: line, exiting does not work. I initiate an exit, and after about or not more than ten seconds, an unusable black screen appears with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. The keyboard and mouse are unusable; no switching to another tty and no ctrl-alt-delete. The desktop can only be rebooted by a warm reset or a power down. There is nothing relevant in Xorg.log: no errors nor warnings. Nothing in dmesg except the expected improper disk unmounting warning followed by fsck. I don't have the first clue what could be wrong nor do I have any idea how to begin troubleshooting. Given the paucity of information I can offer, can any advice be given to me? Thank you, and best regards, J. Altman
