This should be augmented by KMS drivers for your GPU. If you don't have an accelerated GPU like nVidia or AMD/ATI, then you're out of luck. When you press Ctrl+Alt+F3, you are switched to ttyv2, it just doesn't show up. You're looking at a ghost image of the X display. You can type blindly, but that's not what anyone would want. Hit Alt+F9 to get back to the X server. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Feb 26 15:04:43 2015 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher AECDH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 6E7B387F for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:04:43 +0000 (UTC) Received: from feeder.usenet4all.se (1-1-1-38a.far.sth.bostream.se [82.182.32.53]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id BFC75227 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:04:41 +0000 (UTC) Received: from kw.news4all.se (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by feeder.usenet4all.se (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id t1QElT9T039036 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:47:30 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from bah@bananmonarki.se) Message-ID: <54EF3201.1020409@bananmonarki.se> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:47:29 +0100 From: Bernt Hansson <bah@bananmonarki.se> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.4.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD Mailing List <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Subject: Problem with pkg install Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18-1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:04:43 -0000 Hello list.
