I installed Xfree86 and am running kde. if I run kvt the box freezes entirely. you can't so much as telnet to the box. it is completely hung. there is nothing in the messages file either about a panic or problem. anyone have any idea about what causes this. I can also be running other applications and it will hang such as vi or the compiler or anything. I think it is a kernel problem but it could be related to the X server as well. Since I saw no report of it I submitted a problem report. uname -a reveals FreeBSD passion.xtdl.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000 jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 so I have the default generic kernel. Is there something I have to play with to get it working. thanks Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
