Hello. Something strange just occurred. I booted my computer to winblows, played games for a half hour, and rebooted to FreeBSD. I had used FreeBSD yesterday with no problems. Kernel and rc execute fine, than XDM starts up. The screen flickers as it trys to switch modes, as usual, and then my monitor tells me "Out of scan range", and the computer is frozen. Ctrl-Alt-F1 won't work, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work either. I rebooted the machine via the reset switch. When freebsd comes up again, I get a text only prompt. reading /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors tells me that .X0-lock is still in /tmp, so I delete that and reboot. Everything works. Does anybody know why XDM would suddenly cease to function, then work perfectly next time around? Thanks. -Spike Gronim spork@cncn.com "Hacker, n: One who hacks real good" --Computer Contradictionary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
