You could try to press the Pause / SysRq key as many times as needed until you're on your X screen again. Have a look into /etc/ttys where the correct terminal should be specified, e. g. ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure ^^ So X will be on ttyv8 which is number 9 (Alt+PF9). May I ask how you initiate your X (XFCE) session? This could give a hint why console switching doesn't work as intended. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
