Pandaemonium

Welcome to Pandaemonium. Our intention is to support the WA BSD community and spread the word about BSD.

From Pandaemonium, capital of Hell in Paradise Lost, an epic poem by John Milton: Greek pan (all), Latin daemonium (from Greek daimonion - lesser god, demon). Literally "all demons".

GDM 2.4.4.3

I've updated my GDM installation to the latest version (2.4.4.3) from ports, and the keyboard no longer responds!

A bit of research shows that it is due to GDM taking over a VT that getty has already grabbed for itself, unfortunately, the directives in the GDM config file are only applicable to Linux.

As a workaround, I enabled GDM in /etc/ttys and disabled the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

The problems that used to occur when starting GDM in this way no longer occur, so for now, this seems like the way to get it working.
