Hi There,
I've been using FreeBSD for the past three months now.  However i'm still in 
new grounds and haven't had the chance to get my feet to wet.

A problem occured to me two days ago after i killed the x server i couldn't 
log back in through the xfree86 login screen.  It would just keep bring me 
back to the same screen.  So I booted into the shell and ran my server from 
there.  However since the X server was still running after i killed it, i 
killed xdm was that a bad thing? i know its the x display manager but i was 
guessing after a reboot it would of started itself back up.  Now i keep 
getting this message after i "shutdown -r now" i get this message after its 
loading up at the very end:

"Dec 20 00:45:40 unixpros init: getty repeating to quickly no
port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 seconds.  So i hit ctrl c and login through the 
shell again.  Then i get the same messages in my terminal:
unixpros init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8. sleeping
30 secs.  That messages appears every 2mins or so.  So when i type:
startx "as root" to start the x server from the terminal i then get this 
message:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXpm.so.4" not found
(==) R128(0): Write-combinig range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear.

When i get on i see the same message in /var/log/XFree86.0.log.  Anyclue how 
i can fix this? please any help would be greatly apperciated i'm still young 
only 17 and learning.  Another thing i'm not sure how many other freebsd 
users out there run a "OpenNap Server" but since i rebooted i cant start it 
up.  For some reason the pid file is missing, and when i execute the command 
opennap -b to start the server in the background says command not found and 
this is occuring due to no pid file in the /opennap directory.

Hope to get a response from someone :)
Sincerly Yours,
Matt
