The hardware is ASUS P5B Premium, nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT, 2-channel JMicron JMB 363 PCIe card, Intel Core2 Quad Q6600, six Samsung HD501LJ CR100-10 HDDs striped using gstripe (used for storage), one Samsung SP1614C SW100-30 HDD used as system disk (/, /usr, /var and /home). I'm running 7.0-BETA3 and Xorg 7.3, with the nv driver that comes with Xorg (nVIDIA's own driver refuses to compile with the message that 7.0 & -CURRENT aren't supported. Now for my problem. Everything works like a charm, except for one small annoyance. If I run xdm, everything hangs when I log out. The monitor just turns black and i get no response whatsoever for neither the mouse nor the keyboard. The only thing that works is shutting the computer off (by quickly pushing aqnd releasing the power button, so the OS shuts down using ACPI). This happens every time. No matter what window manager I use. But it only happens when I use xdm. If I start X with startx, it shuts down cleanly and returns to the tty from which I ran startx. The only clue I've been able to find about this is in /var/log/xdm.log (which I'm enclosing). I'd be happy to share my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files as well (and any other files that might help solving this too for that matter), but because of their sizes I'll only do that on request. I haven't touched any of the X and xdm resource files excpet xorg.conf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ my /var/log/xdm.log looks like this (the last line confuses me): X.Org X Server 1.4.0 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD trapper.homedns.org 7.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 #0: Sun Nov 18 02:13:50 CET 2007 root@trapper.homedns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAZLAR i386 Build Date: 20 November 2007 05:09:57PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
