I cann't login to X and can't switch to another virt.tty. Even when the above problem happens, you should still be able to login to the system via network. Please login to the system in that way and get /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors and output from `dmesg', and send them to me for examination. Would you also show me your kernel configuration file and /etc/ttys, please? A couple of more questions: Do you have the splash screen preloaded by the boot loader? Did you have the same problem before? Kazu yokota@FreeBSD.ORG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
