I could ssh to my machine and do a "startx" which brought back the video signal to the screen. But as soon as I shut X down, the video-signal went the same way. How can I bring back the console without having to reboot? Best regards Rasmus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
