[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Everyone, I previously sent this to the n00b list in error, and then I found out that it's only for discussions. Please see my points below.

I've migrated all my stuff from linux to BSD (workstation wise) there's just a couple of outstanding issues. Ie. KDM/GDM needs to work properly, as other people use my machine for an X server. > > And i am currently still sorting out mailman with postfix.

Whenever I leave X, the console seems to get darker, eventually I can't see it anymore, and have to reboot to sort the problem out. I feel this could be video card related - I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I have disabled the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs. > > So I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what this might be? > > And second I dunno how many of you use gkrellm in windowmaker but, i can't get it to appear on every work space.
