This could conceivably (that doesn't look right!) be an XFree86 question, but I don't think so. When I bring FreeBSD up, I usually login as root on console 1, then as a regular user on console 2 (<alt><F2>) and use the system there without worrying about a global wipeout. Also, just to monitor the efficiency of the system, I usually run systat -vmstat as root. Anyway, after using startx to use X-windows as a regular user, error messages something like "/kernel: cmd XF86-SVGA --- tried to use non-present SYSVSHM" show up on root's screen. That blow's systat's whole screen (ok, no biggie) but I'm enough of a perfectionist to want to know what's wrong. SYSVSHM refers to System V Shared Memory, I guess. I think this only happens with my reconfigured kernel, and I know of nothing that I've omitted there. Please give jme some suggestions where to look so I can clean my system up.
