It seems that if the splash screen image is not cleared (ie: press any key) before xdm starts up then once logged in the user is unable to switch to a vitual terminal (ie: ctrl-alt-f1 etc), and it just beeps when those keys are pressed. Solution? Putting the command kldunload splash_bmp before the line that loads xdm seems to work. Is this a bug or just the way things are?
