Re: splash screen xdm
This, no response on Ctrl-Alt-F1, happens as well when you kill the X server (because it is somehow stuck) so that the login prompt of xdm appears again. So I bet it has something to do with and is either located in syscons or in X. Nick 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? It's arguably a bug - the splash should be cleared before the vty switch that X makes. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ m...@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message FreeBSD USB Driver Development -- e-mail: n_hi...@freebsd.org home page: http://www.etla.net/~n_hibma/usb/usb.pl mailing list: usb-...@egroups.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Which version of the X server are you using? Did you see any error message when this happened? /var/log/messages* may reveal something.

Saver ? Yes.
saver=snake # screen saver: Uses /modules/${saver}_saver.ko
Are you about allscreens_flags ? No.
