The crash message in tty2 should not be there I think. But if X works after you hit ctrl-alt-f9 that's fine. > C+A+F7 however, brought up what I imaginge is my ports entry log.

And you found it ;) > C+A+F10 -11 brings up a blinking curser after x goes away These are extra sessions where X can live. When you log into tty3, you can start another X session which will live under ctrl-alt-f10, etc. > C+A+F12 brings up the graphical state of the system.(just like when its > booting) Never saw that, I'll try it someday :) > Of course, C+A+F9 brings back X no matter what I tried.

Nope, that is pretty standard. Has nothing to do with PortSentry. Paul
