Then, after about 3 seconds, it takes me back to kdm. I tried using xdm as well, with the same result. Another question: /etc/ttys has the line ttyv10 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off insecure I understand this has to do with assigning a virtual terminal to X, but what else does all this do? If I'm using kdm, would I put it in there instead of xdm? -- R Joseph Wright *I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues --Duke Ellington* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
