Otherwise I would not be writing to this group :-) So, up to date I am rather limited in my knowldege :-) And here is my first problem: I have set up a running and functional FreeBSD 4.10 System in an VMware enviroment. Well, I came to a pioint where it is said you could autostart xdm by eddeting the /etc/ttys for tty8 and set on the xdm -daemon. So far, so good. Now, I start the system and automacially xdm starts up. I just have to login and can run my favourite Desktop, e.g. KDE. Well, but how can I switch in xdm to another tty. Generally I can use the F-Keys in combination with ALT to switch. But when I am in xdm and I do not want to login-in via xdm and start KDE, how can I swith. When I us ALT-F2 for instance I don't get tty1. Al it says ist that my login is not correct after the second try, because I am in the user/password fields. Can someone helmp me with this matter? I would defenitely appreciate it :-) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Marcel.lautenbach mailto:freebsd@xtsy.de
