Normally I start X by startx which may be followed by an initialization file, so I don't get the default spartan default twm all the time. In Linux and FreeBSD, I generally use X as nonroot.
So I don't really know how to start a program such as xterm as another user or how to have both root and nonroot windows in X. On trying to exit X with the KMS driver in FreeBSD, I never got that far, however I'm having snags in updating my ports, am at an impasse now, got Error 70 in the latest case and don't know what that means. But I have experience typing in the dark in NetBSD, not all X-related, and have successfully typed "shutdown -r now" with nothing showing on the screen.
