What package? dbus, xorg, or something completely different? That's not likely to accomplish anything. You say that you can't "quit back to the console," which in my mind could mean two different things. First, try adding the lines Warren mentioned to the /boot/loader.conf file. Some graphics adapters, like the newer Intel i* series, require the new vt(8) console in order to work properly. Second, if you're saying you can't actually quit from the desktop--as in, you can't click the "Logoff" button in the session menu--it's likely because you haven't started XFCE with ConsoleKit. You need to start XFCE from your ~/.xinitrc file (or session file, if you're using a display manager) with the line: exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 That will enable the log-out, shutdown and reboot functions. -- ================================================================= :: Brandon Wandersee :: :: brandon.wandersee@gmail.com :: ================================================================== 'A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.' - Douglas Adams ==================================================================
