X windows (XF86_S3) core dumps sometimes whenever I try to switch to a ttyv? . I run xdm on startup on ttyv7, and run virtual terminals on ttyv0 - ttyv6. Sometimes, maybe 30%, when I switch to ttyv0, X will core dump. Anyone have any idea why? 2.) uname() fails for some reason. Altough not a serious problem, I am still curious why. It is the system call uname(), not the environment variable (I have it set). I run freeBSD 2.0.5 Thanks, Ryan
