I don't think ttyp* will work. I don't know who suggested it to you. I have never run Linux X server binaries on FreeBSD, but, I can assure you that ttyp* won't work. The ttyp* refers to the "pseudo" tty. The Linux X server opens tty0 and tty4 which are "virtual terminals" in Linux. Virtual terminals are named ttyv* in FreeBSD. If the Linux X server are ever made to work in FreeBSD, it must be ttyv* which the X server should be fooled to access. VT_ACTIVATE, VT_WAITACTIVE and VT_GETMODE ioctls are valid only for virtual terminals ttyv* and certainly result in error for pseudo ttys. I suspect that the fatal trap you are seeing has little to do with ttyv* symlinks and the real culprit lies somewhere else. Kazu >Are you running a linux Xserver under freebsd, XF86_VMware?
