I have a new install of 10.1 and I am unable to access ttys from xdm. When I press Alt-F3 or Ctrl-Alt-F3 instead it causes either the mouse, keyboard or entire X session to lock up. Here is the section of my /etc/ttys - any advice on troubleshooting this would be appreciated. # If console is marked "insecure", then init will ask for the root password # when going to single-user mode. console none unknown off secure # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure # Serial terminals -- John Holland jholland@vin-dit.org gpg public key ID 0xEFAF0D15
