You really want it to say (for the default case) ttyv8 but the problem is getting that passed from kdm on out as some sort of env var (DISPLAY_TTY?) that you can use. kdm knows it's ttyvN because that's the first arg, but all it does with that is bitch about it (unless I patched that out, I don't remember). copied to stable, but replies set to kde-freebsd only; please respect that and do not copy this topic further on the stable list. thanks. -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
