Hi, I have been installing from the x11/XFree86-4 port (XFree-4.1.0_6) on a 4.3-RELEASE system. I run xdm through /etc/ttys as advised in the handbook: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure and have :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt9 in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers Booting the system with kern.securelevel<=0 is fine, xdm is started and I can log in using X11. I can also issue a sysctl -w kern.securelevel=1 without a problem, run new X clients, and switch to the virtual text consoles. As soon as I wish to switch back from a text console to X11 (Alt-F9), however, the screen flickers and I get the message init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs I get the same effect when I set kern_securelevel="1" kern_securelevel_enable="YES" in rc.conf. Could you make a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong, and how I could run in securelevel 1 or higher and still use X11? With many thanks for your help, David. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
