The simplest, albeit cumbersome in a way, workaround (at least the one that worked for me) is to simply have the KVM switch focused on the BSD machine from the time it boots until the time you start X. Once X is started and the thing is running, you can usually then switch back and forth without problem. As I said, I tried Trevor's solution (as well as recompiling the kernel with whatever the suggested flags were--I've forgotten.) I think even the developer working on it was getting frustrated. :) I have seen postings on deja that people who added the flags had some success (others didn't) some had success using Trevor's solution or modifications of it (and others didn't) So, my (not so helpful, I fear) answer is given above---keep the KVM focused on the BSD box till X is up and running HTH Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
