If you shutdown an X session and use >CTL-ALT-Fx before X completes resetting the screen and presents the >login prompt, the keyboard will lock. This happens every time. Please describe the exact sequence and symptom. How did you start X? By xdm? How did you "shutdown" the X sesssion? When the keyboard is looked up, which vty are you in? Do NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock change LED state? If you try to switch to another vty by hitting ALT-Fx, do you here beep? Would you hit ALT-Fx several times to see if it makes any difference? >After a long sequence, the answer to the question of how to start X >was to set /etc/ttys as I said earlier and start xdm in >/usr/local/etc/rc.d/.sh. > >I switched to this mechanism and have not had a problem since. > >Has the "correct" way to start X changed back to using rc.local or >/etc/ttys? Some people like /etc/ttys. Other people prefer rc.local or /usr/local/etc/rc*. Me? I don't care which is "correct", so long as it works. Well, maybe I should think harder to decide which is more "correct"... Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
