Very Computer

Hi there:

  I am using FreeBSD 4.6, XFree86 4.x.x (the one that comes with FBSD 4.6
  install disk). I also have ATI Radeon 7500. Xdm runs without problem. But
  what I don't like is that whenever root or a user logs off, the monitor
  gets turned off briefly before that "LOGIN" widget appears.

  How can I prevent that from happening?

  Thanks for any suggestions.

Vector,

this is xdm restarting the X server on logoff and is normal! It is
more noticable on some hardware than others. I have a workstation with
a matrox card at home and it just 'blinks' but my workstation at work
with an nVidia card goes black, then shows the crosshatched X
background before coming back to a login. BTW I use wdm rather than
xdm 'cos it's easier to customize IMHO.

Steve.
