Note that the `bugbusters' mailing list is not the right place to ask general FreeBSD questions. In the future, please direct questions to: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Having said that, try hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 while logged in as 'akberos' in KDE... you should get back a virtual console terminal, and when you hit ALT+F9 or ALT+F10 (the virtual terminal occupied by the X11 session you will go back to your X11 desktop). - Giorgos
