I managed to provoke freeBSD into graphical mode before prompting at the = command line for userid and passward by altering the "tty". The only = problem I have now is I can't gain access to the KDE interface. This is = what I suspect. The line that governs XDM also has a option for secure/uns= ecure settings. I left it at secure setting. Therefore, when XDM starts = and logs me in, KDE, or for that matter any other process, is not = available even to root. It then returns the user to the XDM interface. = Funny thing is that I can't even get to a command line to run "vi" in = order to change the alteration I made. CATCH 22. I there a procedure for stopping to allow a command line prompt with the = volumes mounted that can be initiated through a "hot key" so I might be = able to change the "tty" file back to it's original state?
