When I quit snes9x and shut down X in this case, I go to the console, but xdm never restarts and there's a field of white-on-blue garbage covering the bottom half to 3/4 of the screen.

In this case, everything works fine; I can switch back to the vty with no trouble, and also restart X without it getting stuck. -lee -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on WTnet) | | lcremeans@erols.com | http://wakky.dyndns.org/~lee | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
