I am runing 4.0 current SMP. Some time back, we had the discussion on this list about how to start X. The CTL-ALT-Fx problem was discussed and no solution was produced. This is still an open issue. If you shutdown an X session and use CTL-ALT-Fx before X completes resetting the screen and presents the login prompt, the keyboard will lock. This happens every time. After a long sequence, the answer to the question of how to start X was to set /etc/ttys as I said earlier and start xdm in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<whatever>.sh. I switched to this mechanism and have not had a problem since. Has the "correct" way to start X changed back to using rc.local or /etc/ttys? tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
