I put FreeBSD-1.0-RELEASE up with no problems. It was easy and works great (kudos to it producers)! Then I put up XFree-2.0, and I ran into a very annoying problem. When I kill my Xwindows session, whether via ctrl-atl-backspace or kill my window manager (e.g. the last process in my .xinitrc), the screen drops out of graphics mode and I get the normal text modes back, but somethings is not dying properly. I can see the xinits startup info, but when I hit keys they come on the screen but I get no shell prompt and typing command and hitting return does nothing. Also ^Z, ^C etc etc do nothing. I thought I had a bright idea when I ran screen before running xinit and then thought I would get out of X and then start anouther screen and try and do the rest of the get-out-of-xwindows cleanup manually. All this did was to further the problem in fully locking up my keyboarxd. The next idea i had was to get my XFree-1.3u server executable out of storage and run it on top of Xfree-2.0's libs and freebsd-release. Same problem. It locked up just like the 2.0 server. I really have no idea what might be causing this. I am thinking its might be something that XFree depends on with in itself. Or something Xfree 2.0 dependent that doesnt jive with Freebsd-1.0release. You're ideas and help would be much appreciated.
