Actually I dont think so, I get that problem occasionally too...system drops out of X and corrupts my display (for lack of a better word) with something that looks out of a dos 3.3 hex editor .Diagnostics show that X times out and doesnt quit correctly. I just wait for my console screensaver to kick in an that restores my display. Its a pain I know but couldnt replicate it to as to figure out the problem. My display card is a Gigabyte TNT2 Ultra 32meg running 3.3.6 (no need for 4.x as all its there for is netscape and pictures:/). My best work around is wait for your screensaver to kick in (I could be imagining things but suspect theres a shortcut do to that in console but forgot). ...And yes I know its annoying to was * seconds to use your terminal again but better than a reboot I guess.=) HTH, PsyV To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
