I do know that, it's my setting at the moment. :-) So if you would create a normal user account and add these files: 1. ~/.xsession #!/bin/csh source ~/.cshrc exec ~/.xinitrc 2. ~/.xinitc #!/bin/sh exec xfwm Give them +x permissions. The first file allows you to inherit your settings from the C shell (~/.cshrc) into your X session when started from XDM or another display manager. After login, you can use the % startx command to run your XFCE session. But in fact, running as root can't be the reason why console switching doesn't seem to work correctly, I believe... -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
