This comes up every so often, I'm surprised you didn't find it in the mailing list archives when you searched on the terms "DDB" and "X11"... Use the GGI port for FreeBSD, and run X that way. GGI knows how to put the video card back into a known state from the X11 state, which is required in order to run the debugger. Or wire a serial console. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
