Note that the `bugbusters' mailing list is not the right place to ask
general FreeBSD questions.  In the future, please direct questions to:

    freebsd-questions at FreeBSD.org

Having said that, try hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 while logged in as 'akberos'
in KDE...  you should get back a virtual console terminal, and when you
hit ALT+F9 or ALT+F10 (the virtual terminal occupied by the X11 session
you will go back to your X11 desktop).
