If I understand you correctly and you want to get rid of xdm, my favorite is: dpkg --purge xdm (or gdm etc.) (assuming that you're a stand-alone user or that no one else on your system wants a GUI startup) Then 'startx' works fine. Even better than simply using startx, create a few small script files that execute the startx command after first adjusting your '~/.xsession' file for the session you want to start. Works really well for choosing between a gnome or a regular session without using a GUI logon. :-) John -- Powered by the Penguin
