Is an X freeze likely to happen on your system? It shouldn't be... and typically suggests that there's something wrong. You can use simple window managers like IceWM or FVWM with virtual desktops, and run several X Terminals (xterm, rxvt) on those, as using "text mode" consoles has become a nightmare on FreeBSD since the switch from sc to vt (as console driver). However, even with the nVidia driver (I think you're using the binary one, right?), it should work. Please check if any of the relevant configuration files have any offending entries, or important entries missing (usually KMS stuff in /boot/loader.conf, no manual forcing of sc in that file, /etc/ttys, and /etc/rc.conf). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
