Guys, I think I wasn't clear on the problem: my mouse (big X) was lost on the screen and could move about but it just couldn't get out of that grey mush... and I couldn't help it as ctrl-alt-backspc just did not work, nor will it if you get stuck like this in trying out the Xorg. Xorg works but you're stuck in there forever. I finally got out by hitting ctl-alt and idon't remember which Fkey - I think it was F2 or F3 and I got a login prompt. Logged back in and then had to shutdown - but the screen was still running on another tty terminal... but it gave up the ghost and I found the little tweaks to fix things on Guggle... sorry, I don't recall what it was but it's in the FBSD manual. Thanks for responding. PJ
