I came into work this morning and the display on my FreeBSD system [S3-801/805, DEC 486/66] was totally locked up. Blank screen, switching to a virtual console just caused the system to 'beep'. I was able to get in via telnet, killing xdm/X didn't fix the problem. No indication of a problem in any log files, the only processes running on the vty's were getty's which respawned fine when killed. xdm/X respawned fine also. In the end I had to reboot. Last week I upgraded from 2.1-release to 2.1-stable-ctm71, which might be a factor, though the system has been running flawlessly apart from this problem. Anyone seen similar, or have any idea what caused the problem ? tony
