Ok, so you [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE]-ed Xwindow. If possible, can you try a ssh from another system ? If the system is still responding, you should see it quite immediately. BTW, I had a problem not really dissimilar, except it didn't "black out" the screen. I had to upgrade Xfree from the provided version of FreeBSD/Alpha 5.2.1 to the latest found on Xfree.org JF On Sun, 30 May 2004, Marco Beishuizen wrote: > On stardate Sun, 30 May 2004, the wise Jean-Francois Gobin entered: > > > What did he do when you press [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE] ? > > > > JF > > I think that killed xfree as it should but the monitor still remains black > with the big warning.

PWS 600au / Matrox G450 / XFree86-4.3.0 (fwd)
Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE on my PWS 600au and it comes with Xfree86-4.3.0. I can't seem to start X while Xfree-3.3.6 worked fine. My PWS has a Matrox G450 PCI videocard. I tried both the generic Matrox driver and the G400 driver in xf86config, but get the same errors. The errors I get when trying to start X are: ... (WW) MGA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found ... X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "tsunami.bsd:0" in "remove" command Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve this?
