Hi, I'm running FreeBSD Release 2.2.8 with XFree86 3.3.2. This afternoon, X-server exited when system run out of swap space. Then the console got frozen. There is no response by pressing any key on keyboard. I tried ALT+CTL+1, ALT+[1234], ALT+CTL+DEL combinations, too, with no success. However I can telnet to the machine. So I checked the /var/log/messages, and here is the log. Dec 28 12:37:46 summer /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space Dec 28 12:37:49 summer /kernel: pid 263 (XF86_SVGA), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space I cannot start X-Server on the console since there is no response from the keyboard. Does anyone know how to bring back console and keyboard alive without rebooting the machine? ------> Sail OZ Shigetoh Kumagai To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
