After a frustrating morning of seeking out how to do this, I now give up and ask the forum for help with something I think should be obvious to me, but does not seem to be very obvious.
I am running FreeBSD 13.2 with XFCE and that has generally been working fine for me. After a bit of absence for some surgery, I got back to this finally, but now I get an intermittent momentary black screen after which I usually can go on about business. Yesterday I got such a black screen, but when it repainted I had lost the left hand roughly one third of the screen. I tried several things to get it back, but to no avail. Finally I rebooted via a momentary power switch and everything worked again. But I should not have to have resorted to the thermonuclear option to do so. Under Linux when I was running it, I had several occasions to reset the X-server by issuing ctrl-alt-bksp from the keyboard and had to start my session over, but not a full reboot. I tried that to no avail here. The should be some such incantation to do an X reset here as well, but I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone on the forum have a suggestion for such an incantation? If so it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
