Switching to any of the other virtual consoles did not work, hence I had to remotely kill the hung up process. When I returned to the machine, the picture was still there. I pressed CTRL+C and it went away, trying to switch back to its original console video mode. And it still does. The mode goes like on and off in an infinite loop, making an aweful noise, fatal to my monitor if left on. Does anyone know what to do? The machine has such a nifty uptime that rebooting it is not an option. Love, Janine To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
