If the X display is on the current virtual console, the X server dying results in the display locking up. The server does exit, but the display is frozen. C-A-BS doesn't work because the X server is no longer active. C-A-Fx and A-Fx don't work, nor does A-Fx. Killing the X server from a regular vty works fine. Try this: vty$ startx vty$ kill -9 [pid of X server] --- vty$ startx xterm$ kill -9 [pid of X server] The first example works fine, the X server exits as expected. In the second form, you'll see your X session freeze. Please post your results, as I'd like to know if this is a problem in -current or just something wrong here (did make world and built a fresh kernel with make clean; make; make install today. rebuilt XFree86 yesterday). It's XFree86-3.3.2 from the ports. -- ________________ ___________________________________________ / Nathan Dorfman \ / "My problems start when the smarter bears / nathan@rtfm.net \/ and the dumber visitors intersect." / finger for PGP key \ Steve Thompson, Yosemite wildlife biologist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
