Next, play an mp3 clip in an xterm with mpg123. Next, hit cntrol+alt+F3 (or whatever) to switch to a VC while the clip is playing. Stau there for about 3 seconds. Then, switch back to X with alt+F9, or whichever VC X is running on. On my machine, the monitor goes blank, my display goes black, and the machine is unresponsive. However, I didn't try to see if I could still log in via a serial terminal. The version of XFree86 I'm running: $ X -showconfig XFree86 Version 3.9.18 / X Window System Do all of this while the clip is playing. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
