Hi, I have just installed FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE amd64 as a virtual machine/guest operating system under Oracle VM Virtualbox 4.3.10. My host operating system is Windows 8.1 64-bit. I have just installed X server, gnome, and gdm with the following commands: # pkg install xorg # pkg install gnome2 # pkg install nano # nano /etc/fstab ====================================== proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 ============================================ # nano /etc/rc.conf ======================================= gdm_enable="YES" gnome_enable="YES" ============================================= The following command is to allow startx to be executed. *# echo "/usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc* *To allow regular user to su to root,**# pw groupmod wheel -m teo-en-ming* *************************************************************************** I can still type in my password on the gdm login prompt. But after logging into the GNOME Desktop Environment, I cannot type anything with my keyboard! No characters appear on the screen. I can only use my mouse. I tried to reboot but every time the system boots into gdm. I also tried to enter Single User Mode, but I can't modify /etc/rc.conf as the root filesystem is mounted read only. What can I do? I am looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Teo En Ming
