Hi, I have FreeBSD amd64, 8.2-RELEASE, I just applied the securtiy update p3 and now have $ uname -r 8.2-RELEASE-p3 I have X running and KDE, My machine is a virtual machine (Vmware) After boot-up I got a graphical login window (as always), I wanted to switch to a console prompt, so hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 but there is now NO reaction at all (neither with Ctrl-Alt-F2, ...Ctrl-Alt-F8) tried many times In the past this was never a problem (in the pas also as a Virtual machine) >From a different PC, I also connected to my FreeBSD machine Got a graphical window, here I could, after two tries, get the console prompt, went back to graphical mode via Ctrl-Alt-F9, OK, but now neither keyboard, nor mouse reacts to input ... Went back to my first PC, now here the same situatuon: graphical window, keyboard and mouse: no more reaction Now I see, my /var is for 108% full There was a huge file Xorg.0.log 16959946731 bytes I deleted it, but still it remains 108% full and I can't create new file How to solve this ??? help!
