try hitting ctrl+f1 for the vt1 ctrl+f2 for vt2, etc... ctrl+f8 is the gui screen, as you can see in /etc/ttys. if you wanted to make xdm/wdm/kdm start at boot, so you don't need to startx, then that's the file you would need to edit. if so, make it so that it looks like this: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure you can replace wdm with your *dm of choice -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: rasmus@gal.dk [mailto:rasmus@gal.dk]On Behalf Of Rasmus Skaarup }Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 6:09 AM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: console } } } }Hi, } }I just tried to do this: } }kill -9 -1 } }on my FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE workstation and the console died.
