Ok, so you [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE]-ed Xwindow. If possible, can you try a ssh from another system ? If the system is still responding, you should see it quite immediately. BTW, I had a problem not really dissimilar, except it didn't "black out" the screen. I had to upgrade Xfree from the provided version of FreeBSD/Alpha 5.2.1 to the latest found on Xfree.org JF On Sun, 30 May 2004, Marco Beishuizen wrote: > On stardate Sun, 30 May 2004, the wise Jean-Francois Gobin entered: > > > What did he do when you press [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE] ? > > > > JF > > I think that killed xfree as it should but the monitor still remains black > with the big warning.
