Leo, thanks for you mail. I actually tried that(Please see my previous mail.) But console is locked or invisible for ALT+F1, ALT+F2 or ALT+F3. There is no login prompt.. that I can see.. I suppose I haven't tried enough. Let me try again... Yes I can login on ALT+F2 screen! but it is invisible! shigetoh@summer:>w 2:35PM up 1 day, 16 mins, 3 users, load averages: 0.37, 0.33, 0.30 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT shigetoh v0 - Mon02PM 1:44 -tcsh (tcsh) shigetoh v1 - 2:32PM 2 -tcsh (tcsh) shigetoh p0 sprint 11:00AM 1:37 xinit /usr/home/shigetoh/.xinitrc - ------> Sail OZ Shigetoh Kumagai On Tue, 29 Dec 1998, Leo Kliger wrote: > not a real solution but why don't you press ALT-F2 login in again and then > ps aux at the prompt and kill the frozen session??? > > ---------- > > From: Shigetoh Kumagai <shigetoh@zip.com.au> > > To: Greg Lehey <grog@lemis.com> > > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Re: Console frozen when X-server exited > > Date: Tuesday, December 29, 1998 1:50 PM > > > > Greg, > > Thank you for your reply! > > > > I made it work by starting from one of telnet session from another > > machine. > > > > Well, everything works under X-Window, however when I close my X session, > > the PC console is still locked.
