Freebies - I just finished a fairly lightweight ftp installation of 5.1-Release and want to offer an X11 login screen. Basic XF86 seems to work fine. I followed the 'Configuring xdm' instructions in Greg Lehey's _Complete_FreeBSD_, ch.17, but didn't get quite all the way home. I get the X11 login screen, mouse moves OK, but I never seem to focus the username or password entry panels so that my keystrokes are seen. Neither can I change to one of the other vt's (though I get 'bell' sounds on those which should exist). The server seems to have gone both modal and deaf. Suggestions appreciated. TIA. - John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu
