I placed 'xdm ; sleep 1' at the end of /etc/rc.local. When the system boots, the xdm login screen appears, but all keyboard input goes to the vt 1 console instead of X. However, if I login as root via the console and start xdm manually, it works fine. An error is reported in the xdm-error file: xf86CloseConsole: KDDISABIO failed (Inappropriate ioctl for device) My xdm configuration in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm has not been modified from the defaults. Below if the initial outpout of the X server for version info: XFree86 Version 3.3.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: February 28 1998 Operating System: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386 Configured drivers: S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) newmmio, mmio_928, s3_generic Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) (using VT number 2) Any ideas what the problem might be? Help appreciated! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kurt Windisch kurtw@antc.uoregon.edu Network Engineer/Research Asst.
