Since this has been mentioned, I though I'd take the opportunity ... Polytropon writes: > You have X without HAL and DBUS?

FreeBSD had both HAL and DBUS installed and activated in rc.conf. Scenario: I'm working on the FreeBSD system, and switch to the WIndows system (push the button on the kvm) everything's fine. But when I switch back, I an now sitting at the Xdm prompt; I'm guessing this means X has crashed. I experimented a little and discovered if I disable DBUS after initial boot, this no longer happens. (It makes some other things unhappy, but I can live with that.) Anyone have anyideas what might be happening and how to unbreak this? Robert Huff
