Scheper" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: SMP + XDM problem resolved! Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org OK. Problem solved. Yes it was something stupid and I feel rather sheepish.. As someone pointed out, the termonal setting in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt4 actually refers to vtty3. I had mine set to vt3, which is vtty2. Thus, X must have tried to grab vtty2 which caused a conflict. Once I corrected this the problem went away. I can strt xdm in /etc/rc.local with no fancy tricks, as before. I guess the fact that it worked without SMP in its incorrect setup had to do with timing issues after all. SMP just revealed the mistake. Thanks to all who spent so much time troubleshooting this problem. I sincerely appreciate your time. -Rich To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
