--r4QXMf6/kyF/FvJJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I'm having some intermittant problems on my laptop that I'd like to debug, but as I use X11 most of the time it's difficult to use the kernel debugger when the machine hangs, which is when I'm in X :(. Of course the nicest thing would be to return the screen to text mode automatically when the the kernel debugger is entered, but because X controls the video registers I guess that that's not easy or possible. I suppose that the best way is to have a second FreeBSD box and couple them via RS232, but this isn't always convenient. (I seem to have the most time to work on FreeBSD when I'm travelling). Does anyone have any working practices around this problem? I'm sure that I'm not the only one of us with it.
