I managed to provoke freeBSD into graphical mode before prompting at the command line for userid and passward by altering the "tty". The only problem I have now is I can't gain access to the KDE interface. This is what I suspect. The line that governs XDM also has a option for secure/unsecure settings. I left it at secure setting. Therefore, when XDM starts and logs me in, KDE, or for that matter any other process, is not available even to root. It then returns the user to the XDM interface. Funny thing is that I can't even get to a command line to run "vi" in order to change the alteration I made. CATCH 22. I there a procedure for stopping to allow a command line prompt with the volumes mounted that can be initiated through a "hot key" so I might be able to change the "tty" file back to it's original state?
