Hi folks. I'm running 6.2-RELEASE, and recently installed Xorg. I've been using Fluxbox as my window manager, and everything has been working fine until recently. I cannot think of any major changes I've made to create this problem. Here's what happens. Once in a while (I can't reproduce the problem by doing anything specific), I exit X, and my TTY does not come back. I've verified the system has not crashed by SSHing in to the system -- where I can `startx`, and the X session resumes. I've tried [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace], which does kill the X session, but TTY does not resume as expected. I am using an nVidia GeForce 5500MX with the x11/nvidia-drivers, x11/nvidia-settings, and x11/nvidia-xconfig ports. Fluxbox and all Xorg dependencies are also installed from ports. (Yes, I did update my ports tree before installing.) The only change I've made to my xorg.conf was: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection and the default mode for resolution. I've also disabled the above section, thinking it was a compositing problem, but that did not resolve it. Any ideas, or pointers on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Glen Barber
