Sorry to post this here. I posted it to the XFree86 Web site and to their newsgroup without response. The solution I have found is to just use a different video card, but if anyone else has seen this behavior I would be intersted in discussing it: 486-66 32meg VLB with diamond speedstar pro video card (using cirrus logic chip) and 2 meg ram on the card. Card works nicely with win3.1 and win95. I'm running FreeBSD2.1R and XFree that came with it on the CDrom. Xwindows will fire up and I can use it, but when I exit Xwindows it freezes the console requiring either hitting the reset button, or logging in remotely for a remote reboot or halt. ^alt backspace does the same thing. ^alt F1 F2 or F3 does the same thing. A few seconds after the machine locks the power saving light comes on for the monitor (sony 15fs which i have had working on other freebsd Xwindows systems). I've tried XF86_SVGA and XF86_16VGA and the accelerated server. all with the same behavior. I plugged in a generic SVGA card yesterday and fired it right up and exited cleanly. I've tried the nolinear and noaccell options in XF86Config. Anyone want to buy a diamond speedstar pro VLB card with 2 meg? ;) I tried to contact diamond but they seem to have vanished off the earth (or at least I can't find them) thanks, dave racette
