Do you use the jwm window manager? I wanted to use it but the configuration of jwm is very difficult.How did you get an X windows desktop environment? FreeBSD does not provide this in the base install. You start from a shell prompt and then install packages to get a GUI.
Try this:
control + alt + F2 to get a virtual terminal.
control + alt + F9 to go back to X.
This works for me on jwm.
Ctrl-t
to the command line.I do. Relevant line in my '~/.xinitrc' file.Do you use the jwm window manager? I wanted to use it but the configuration of jwm is very difficult.
exec /usr/local/bin/jwm
Runlevels are a typical System V Unix construct, BSD doesn't have or use them. That said, there is some form of runlevel on BSD but there's only 0, 1 and 6. 0 is halt, 1 is single user mode and 6 is reboot. See init(8). Older Linux' used runlevel 3 for 'normal' multi-user operation and 4 (or higher) for a graphical environment (Xorg for example). I do believe modern Linux' stopped using it.using command "init 5" and "init 3"?
This topic I opened some time ago, if you see the configuration I had, however it was quite complicated configuration and customization that gave errors. Would you be so kind as to publish your .jwmrc configuration and customization file?I do. Relevant line in my '~/.xinitrc' file.
'~/.jwmrc' is the XML config file with all my menus. One of the default menu choices opens this file in an editor so you can customize your menus.Code:exec /usr/local/bin/jwm
While I agree he gave a right answer I would like to expand on it for a fuller understanding.@unitrunker gave the right answer
There are 7 virtual terminals available when using Xorg.Try this:
control + alt + F2 to get a virtual terminal.
control + alt + F9 to go back to X.

Don't want to take this thread too far off topic. I'll post an example in the jwm thread you linked above.Would you be so kind as to publish your .jwmrc configuration and customization file?
