if you're looking to use xfree86, go to the line which starts with ttyv8 and change the "off" to "on". when you reboot, /etc/ttys will call xdm to start up, prompting you with a graphical login. this can also be substituted with kdm, wdm, etc once they are installed by the superuser. if you should run into a snag, ctrl+alt+backspace should kill the xdm login and drop you back to a command line prompt. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of }daemon@catholic.org }Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2000 6:34 PM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: newbie X vt question: } } }greetings, and thanks in advance, I searched various sources }including the handbook for my newbie question... } }anyway I was setting up X windows, and none of the VT were }unused except for ttyv8 (for which previously there were no }settings at all nor do I have access for it) } }... } ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure } ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure } ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure } ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure } ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure } ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure } }- how do I go about turning OFF any on parameters in the }ttyv1-7, so that I may use X. and do I need to make these }changes in /dev/ttys and /etc/ttys } }thanks } } }-- } } } }To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org }with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
