Have you tried not using the special vtty for the X server? Looking at your /etc/ttys, it looks like the default one supplied... My /etc/ttys has many more entries, like... ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ... ttyvf "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure for a total of 15 virtual terminals. You don't need a virtual a virtual terminal specially configured for X as you have. I'd guess that your first problem is that you don't have ttyv10 configured. You have to (as root), cd /dev ./MAKEDEV ttyva Your other obvious problem is that there is no such thing as ttyv10. The numbering should go like this.... ttyv0 ttyv1 ttyv2 ttyv3 ... ttyv9 ttyva ttyvb ... ttyvf You should usually keep questions@freebsd.org in the Cc: list so that when I lie about how to fix your problem, they can yell at me to remind me that I'm wrong (or, more likeily, so that when I don't know the answer, someone else can answer. Or better yet, for faster turnaround.) -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
