Urgent: Can't type in gdm after system upgrade

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

Sorry for the slow answer but i was away and had to bring a Windoze machine
because i coudnt get my FreeBSD working before i left...

This still didnt work. i already had VTAllocation=false with the FirstVT line
commented outin my gdm.conf but no
combination of playing with these values or commenting them out worked.

What else can i try?

(someone else said this didnt work in amd64--i did want to say that im 
running on Intel.)

i had the same problem and could fix it by comment the following two
lines out in gdm.conf:

FirstVT=9
VTAllocation=true

Bye,
