WMC, O'Gorman, James once stated: =The one and only problem that I have had that I have not fixed yet =is with xdm. I had started it from rc.local before, but now when =rc.local starts is, the keyboard will not interact with it. If I =comment out that line, boot up normal and log in as root and then =start xdm things are fine. I have not put any effort into fixing it =yet, so I am sure it is something simple I am missing. I had that problem -- don't know why, but if you put a 1 or 2 second delay into the rc.local before xdm it will start nicely. The right way is, probably, to fire it from /etc/ttys -- see the xdm entry there and change ``off'' to ``on''... Then (if you do not have X running) ``kill -1 1''. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the messagehome | help
