I am running FreeBSD 1.0 with XFree86 2.0, and have the "vga" terminal driver running on the console. Any suggestions? - David Kind of.... configure two virtual consoles - only the first one dies. You can then kill your first consoles shell from the second virtual screen - getty gets it right. Anyone out there with a fix ? Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk>
