Hi, About two months ago (yes, I'm only now getting around to fixing this), I decided it was time to upgrade my Xorg install from 6.9 to the current. I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING from 20070519. After the upgrade, everything was going ok, until I logged out of KDE. I ended the session and was redirected to ttyv0. The following was on the system console: Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin: :0[948]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Display :0 cannot be opened Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling. I then went to another console and, as root, did: sniper# sockstat | grep x root kdm-bin 788 9 stream /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl/socket Which cleared out whatever was wrong and restarted kdm-bin and allowed me to start another session. What exactly is going on here? The reason it isn't too big a deal, and took me until now to mention it is because I'm about the only person who uses FreeBSD here at home and so when I logout, it's usually to shut off the computer. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Andy
