Sorry for the slow answer but i was away and had to bring a Windoze machine because i coudnt get my FreeBSD working before i left... This still didnt work. i already had VTAllocation=false with the FirstVT line commented outin my gdm.conf but no combination of playing with these values or commenting them out worked. What else can i try? (someone else said this didnt work in amd64--i did want to say that im running on Intel.)
