https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege TL;DR: don't run as root.

This should end X. Did you try a short power button press followed by some waiting for a clean shutdown? Did you try to switch the tty back to ttyC0 (ctrl+alt+F1) when X/fvwm are making you wait? > I am not using > a login or display manager such as xdm(1) so I do not have an ~/.xinitrc or > /etc/rc.conf.local file. During installation, I answered Yes to "Do you > expect to run the X Window System?" and No to "Do you want the X Window > System to be started by xdm(1)?" When you have restarted, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should still be there. Maybe that gives some clues. And, from http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html: Include important information Don't waste everyone's time with a hopelessly incomplete question. No one other than you has the information needed to resolve your problem, it is better to provide more information than needed than not enough detail. Maybe someone already knew what you problem is if he/she only saw your dmesg? Bye, Marcus > !DSPAM:56b26471126511186110957!
