Yes, and it still should be. >but that doesn't happen any- >more. Instead, it uses the current one (i.e. if I'm on ttyv3 >and start X, it uses ttyv3). Is this intentional, or is it a >bug? Hmm, no, this shouldn't be happening. How do you start X, by hand, or via a local shell script (i.e. rc.local or something), or via /etc/ttys? >While the above isn't really a serious problem, the following >is: When X has run for some time, the keyboard suddenly starts >being unresponsive and unusable.

Restarting X helps, >until it happens again. Quite annoying. It sounds like the X server and getty is fighting for keyboard input... How many vtys do you have (check MAXCONS in the kernel config)? How many of which will run getty (check /etc/ttys)? Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
