Hello I am Olcay Alic from Turkey. I have setup a FreeBSD machine and had problems with trying startx and/or X.I think this is because I did not correctly entered the values for monitor specification.I tried to run xdm so I opened the etc/ttys file with ee editor and the made what was written in your freeBSD.handbook (ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure change I made is off to on.) then the document says that I run KILL -HUP 1 to sen a sighup to init processto force it to re-read its configuration file. Now I can't use my computer I tried to close from the buttun and then open again several times but after I see login: prompt on the screen in 1 second the monitor is black!I can't do anything now,can't control the monitor.I can't see it. Please urgent help. Thanks in advance. Olcay ALIC
