I start X on boot and normally operate in this mode. I have noticed that if I have run an X intensive process such as netscape or xv and then switch to one of the text terminal ( with F1 for example ) the character mapping of the keyboard is corrupted. If the delete key is hit at this point FreeBSD will reboot. If however I go back to the X screen and then back to the text terminal the character map returns to normal ( this does not always happen ). Typing ^d at the login prompt ( I presume that this restarts getty ) will also correct the problem. Have you come across this problem as yet? Is there a problem with my setup? Can you offer a solution to this problem? Thanks for your support God Bless David de Jong ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |dd026@svbyo4.seqeb.gov.au | David de Jong | |Phone +61 +7 34075470(work) | Development & Services Department | | +61 +7 38781363(home) | South East Queensland Electricity Board| |Time GMT+10HRS | GPO Box 1461 | | | Brisbane, Australia 4001 | | __ |\ -----------------------------------------| | / \_| \<---Centre of Universe. | | | __ / "Great Spirts Have Always Encounted Violence | | \/ \_/ From Meager Minds" Albert Einstien. | | __ | | \/ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
