~ %% cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager /bin/false ~ %% Does the trick for me. * BUT * If you only want VNC: apt-get remove xserver-xfree86 apt-get install vncserver Without xserver-xfree86, you CANT have an Xserver start on the monitor. Xvnc (the program provided by vncserver) doesn't need xserver-xfree86. -- The world's most effective spam filter: ln -sf /dev/full /var/mail/$USER -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
