I've seen the configuration option is 'PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME =3D -1', maybe I asked the wrong question :) I meant: Is there a way to make a panic more noisy when tinkering with X? 5.3-BETA7 is quite stable, then I use it with KDE; but sometimes I get a=20 panic, and sometimes I send a PR. The problem is how I can effectively dump a fatal trap during "normal"=20 operation. As far as I can understand reading 'src/sys/kern/subr_prf.c' (putchar),=20 trapframe is printed only on screen. If I need to write them down by hand, then I need to see them... Is it correct? On Friday 15 October 2004 19:51, marcio.mallavazzi@unibanco.com.br wrote: > No, it isn't a way to switch to text mode.
